ASSESSMENT OF YOUR ANSWER

Dear student, If you got scores between 9 - 10 correctly, excellent! It

shows that you understood and remembered what we have discussed.
Congratulations!!!
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 answer.
If you correct answers were from 5 - 6, that was good. What you have
remembered were probably the ones close to your heart. I suggest that you
read the text again and try to answer the questions once more.
Finally, If you have a score between 1 - 4 , 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 hope to see you when we do
the next module.
