=What's wrong with my explanation?=
 * Did you merely restate your conclusion? That's not enough! I need to know how you reached that conclusion.
 * Did you merely restate your confidence? That's not enough! I need to know how you achieved that confidence.
 * Did you merely confess you uncertainty? That's not enough! Tell me what you were thinking about and which parts were fuzzy.

=What can go wrong on a benchmark assessment?=
 * **Vocabulary Problems:** If you don't know the difference between "radiated" and "radioactive", you may go in the wrong direction!
 * **Math Problems:** If you multiply 8 and 7 and get something other than 56, you may go in the wrong direction!
 * **Logic Problems:** If you know that energy can never be created, but think that //nuclear// energy **can** be created, you may go in the wrong direction!
 * **Conceptual Problems:** If you think that all matter is made of earth, wind, and fire, instead of atoms, you may go in the wrong direction!
 * **Reading Comprehension Problems:** If you miss important words like **not**, you may go in the wrong direction!
 * **Gap Problems:** If you miss a lesson, and fail to make it up in some way, you may go in the wrong direction!
 * **Courage Problems:** If you have some ideas in your head, but are too worried to share them, you will never make it anywhere interesting!
