Description:

We at Shmoop are all about being proud of your strengths. We also enjoy identifying your, uh, not-so-strengths so we can help you dominate them with a few well-placed ninja kicks. (If your brain could kick, anyway.) That's what our diagnostic exams are for. Don't think of them as tests; think of them as tools to help you figure out where to focus your review.

We'd need what's a diagnostic and why should i take

00:08

it all right Fair questions Let's Start with the what

00:14

diagnostic is similar to what a doctor performs on his

00:17

patients Patients give him a list of their symptoms He

00:20

checks him out turn your head and cough please and

00:24

then the doctor tells them what gore disease they have

00:29

or don't have eye Yeah ok that's In real life

00:33

when it comes to test however a diagnostic assesses your

00:36

mental acumen rather than your physical well being This is

00:41

your brain yellow This is your brain in the form

00:45

of a test score Any questions Um diagnostic is a

00:49

kind of test which is a shorter version of the

00:51

actual test in fact it's just long enough so that

00:55

we can determine how healthy or sick you are in

00:58

terms of the test anyway way can't help you with

01:00

your car For example you may learn from the diagnostic

01:04

that you were close to dying in long passages on

mince words and you'll be aware that you should probably

02:05

eat sleep and breathe the periodic table for the next

02:07

couple of weeks to diagnose That can also help you
