You simply can not learn without failure. These questions below allow you to fail without consequences and learn from your mistakes. The purpose of formatives is to identify what you know and what you do not know before you take a summative exam. Ideally they must be completed days before your summative exam so that you can fix your misconceptions or fill in the gaps missing knowledge. This step in the learning process is critical, success will be difficult without it.
