Proggressives Exam Reflection

What I learned about myself as a test taker was to pay better attention to the questions. For example number 6 and 10 were wrong because I didnt really read them carefully. Also number 21 was wrong because I got confused with the question and didnt really understand what the question was asking. I think that how I can improve next time, is that I will read the questions twice and eliminate any answers that just seem wrong.
