Score	Assessment	Interpretation
90 – 100	Excellent	All ten chapters are mastered, including the pitfalls. The student can move on to advanced OOP without review.
75 – 89	Good	Solid foundations. Review the specific points lost before starting Chapter 11.
60 – 74	Satisfactory	Material is learned, but shaky on OOP (sections F and G). Redo the exercises from Chapters 08 to 10.
45 – 59	Insufficient	The fundamentals (Ch. 01 to 07) are there, but OOP is not. Go back over Chapters 08, 09, and 10 before continuing.
< 45	Needs rework	Redo PART 1A starting from the chapter where the losses begin, redoing all the exercises.
