Assessment of Your Answers

Beloved student, if you got scores between 9-10

correctly, excellent! It shows that you understood and

remembered what we have discussed. Well done!

If you got correct scores between 7-8, very good! You

remembered most of the things we have discussed. Check those questions you

did not answer correctly and see why you forgot their answers.

If you’re correct answers were from 5-5, that was good. What you have

remembered were probably the ones close to your heart. I propose that you read

the text again and try to answer the questions once more.

Finally, if you have a score between 1-4, I suggest that you read the lessons

again and see where you have forgotten some details. After reading the parts

where you met some difficulty, try to answer the test again and see if your score

will improve. Good luck!

Good bye now, dear student. I look forward to see you when we do the

next module.
