What is a productive review habit after a practice session?

After practice, the most productive habit is to review everything, with extra attention to the items you found challenging, and to understand exactly why the correct answers are right and why your choices were off. This kind of review helps you pinpoint misunderstandings, misreadings, or slips in reasoning, so you can fix the underlying gaps and apply the correct approach next time. As you go through, rework the items, read the explanations, and articulate the rule or principle that makes the right choice correct. Keep a quick log of patterns—types of mistakes, common traps, and topics that need more practice—so you can target those areas in future study. Focusing only on correct answers ignores gaps in knowledge, and simply rerunning items without reflecting on why you chose them won’t improve performance.
