Use the rationale before you retake

After each question, start with the reason the correct answer works. Then compare every distractor against the exact scenario details in the prompt.

Write the miss in one sentence

Describe the concept you missed, the clue you overlooked, and the rule you will use next time. This turns the rationale into a reusable study note.

Retake with a tighter target

Before the next attempt, review your weakest objective, explain the correct answer without looking, and then redo similar questions in study mode.
