8) Review missed questions by cause.
After practice sessions, do more than mark answers right or wrong. Identify why the mistake happened:

• Navigation error: You searched the wrong section, table, or topic.
• Concept gap: You did not fully understand the electrical principle involved.
• Detail miss: You missed a note, exception, definition, keyword, or condition.
• Calculation error: You used the wrong formula, value, conversion, or step.
• Time issue: You spent too long searching and rushed the final answer.

Improving the cause of missed questions is more useful than simply completing more practice. It helps candidates strengthen the exact skill that needs attention and creates a more dependable study process.
