As you know, this program asks you to complete a graded assessment at the end

of each section and course, and now is the time to prepare for your first one.

This assessment will effectively verify your understanding of key data analytics

concepts.

It will also help build confidence in your understanding of data analysis while

identifying any areas where you can continue to improve.

Assessments can sometimes feel overwhelming but

approaching them with the strategy makes them more manageable.

Here's a list of tips to set yourself up for success.

Before taking an assessment, review your notes and the videos,

readings and the most recent glossary to refresh yourself on the content.

During the assessment, take your time,

review the whole test before filling in any answers.

Then answer the easy questions,

skip the ones you don't know the answer to right away.

For multiple choice questions, focus on eliminating the wrong answers first.

Also, it's a good idea to read each question twice,

there are often clues that you might miss the first time.

If you start to feel anxious, calm yourself with some mental exercises.

One way to do that is by completing a simple math problem in your head or

spelling your name backwards, this also helps you recall information more easily.

Before you submit the assessment, check your work but be confident.

Sometimes people change an answer because it feels wrong but

it's actually correct, your first instinct is often the best one.

Finally, remember to trust yourself,

often people know a lot more than they give themselves credit for.

Everyone learns at different speeds and in different ways, but

it's important to maintain your momentum.

So, take the time you need and when you feel ready, keep moving ahead.

You've got this.
