Question

youve created your smart goal and a schedule that will help you plan out what you need to do and how much effort you need to put in to achieve your goal. the next thing you need is a way to track if this strategy is working or not. you decide to keep a check on your progress weekly. if theres anything wrong or anything you can do better, you want to catch that early on.
whats the best way for you to evaluate if youre on track with your goal?

• checking your progress toward short - term goals and progress on graded milestones
• waiting until the end of the month to check how things are going
• checking your progress only when you know things are going well
• asking your parents or peers how they think youre doing

Explanation:

To evaluate if you're on track with your goal, a proactive and regular approach is best. Checking progress toward short - term goals and graded milestones weekly (as planned) allows you to identify issues early. Waiting until the end of the month (option 2) delays feedback. Checking only when things are going well (option 3) is not objective and misses problems. Asking others (option 4) is subjective; self - evaluation of progress on defined goals/milestones is more direct.

Answer:

A. Checking your progress toward short - term goals and progress on graded milestones
