Study on at least three separate days before a test
When to use this goal
For students whose present levels show one long cram session the night before, if any. For students with a study log and tests announced in advance.
- Baseline
- Ask the student to log study sessions for the next two or three tests without instruction. Verify logs with a family member or by asking what was studied. Count days with a real session.
- Tips
- Each announced test is one opportunity. Met means three logged sessions on different days, each at least 15 minutes, verified by a signature or a brief description of what was studied. Sessions can be at school or home. Pair with ef-pl-005 for the plan and ef-ss-008 for what happens in the sessions.
- Limits
- Logs are self-reported; verification keeps them honest. Tests announced on short notice do not provide a fair opportunity.

- Record up to 5 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
