Advanced learners can attempt WorkOut as a pre-test to check their understanding of the concepts and skills covered in each course. Based on the pre-test, learners can choose topics for additional study. This increases the efficiency of learner time spent on learning material. It also serves as a learning tool by giving you feedback to help you focus your training efforts.
