When should a student consider reassessing their practice strategy on LifeX?

Reassessing a practice strategy is crucial when a student consistently scores below their target range. This scenario indicates that the current approach to studying may not be effective in addressing the knowledge or skills needed to improve performance. Scoring below a target range suggests gaps in understanding or retention of the material, which warrants a reevaluation of techniques, study methods, or even the resources being used.

In contrast, achieving high scores typically suggests that the current strategy is effective, while not studying at all indicates a lack of preparation that likely requires more foundational study rather than reassessment of an already established strategy. A preference for group study, on its own, does not necessitate a reevaluation of practice strategies unless it is specifically linked to performance outcomes. Therefore, consistently low scores serve as a clear indicator for a student to analyze and modify their study approach to improve outcomes.
