ASSESSMENT OF YOUR ANSWERS. 41 – 50 31 – 40 21 - 30 11 – 20 1 - 10

Excellent Very Good Good Satisfactory Needs Improvement

If you got scores between 41-50 it’s excellent, It shows that you understood and remembered what you have studied. If you got scores between 31-40 it’s very good, and scores between 21-30 it’s good, It means to say that you remember most of the lesson in this module. If your correct answers were from 11-20 it’s satisfactory, I suggest you to read the lesson again and try to answer the questions that you did not answer correctly. If you have a score between 1-10 it needs improvement, Again, I suggest you to take the lessons again and try to answer the selfcheck activity and see if your score will improve. I hope that after taking this module you will build a rewarding machine shorthand skill. Congratulations and Good Luck!
