Assessment

The first thing a student must do to prepare for a testing is make a critical assessment of his or her Taekwondo status. This should be done with the assistance of the instructor.

Assess your current status

Look at other students who began training at the same time as you. How do you compare? How do you compare with other students of your present rank? Ask your instructor how you are doing?

Assess your strengths

Identify your strengths and build on them. Identify your weaknesses and deal with them, either by trying to improve them or by working around them.
