How to make the grid:

• Once you are done taking an FLT or a sectional test, do the

following steps to make the grid:
– Step 1: without looking at the answers. In a piece of paper write
down the question numbers you think you will get wrong.
– Step 2: see the answers and write down question numbers you
actually got wrong
– Step 3 – take an A4 sized sheet divide into the grid as shown and
fill in sections II, III and IV (hopefully I is the biggest chunk!!)
– Step 4 – I needs minimal analysis, Questions in II, III and IV can
be analyzed as mentioned in the subsequent slides

 Analysis – errors in each bucket are
likely to be:
• Errors in II:
– Silly – marked the wrong answer, calculated wrong etc.
– Tactical – dd not follow the startegy that you developed
thoroughly and got it wrong
– Strategic – you think you know the concept but you actually
don’t!!
• Errors in III:
– Tell you that you guess well, but also point out strategic issues like
topics you may be weak in
– They also tell you about your guessing style and what works
• Errors in IV:
– Tell us what topics need to be revised – strategic usually
 Especially beneficial for FLT
analysis:
• FLT analysis used to take me 3 hours but
the above grid decreased my time to 1
hour!!
• All I need to do is a laser like analysis for
questions in II, III and IV and I am done
• Also this gives me a trend of what concepts
I know and what I get right etc.
