Regular self-assessment allows for identifying strengths and areas for improvement, facilitating targeted efforts. Setting aside time for reflection after completing study milestones enhances self-awareness and resilience. Engaging with peers to discuss learning experiences encourages diverse insights, prompting further growth. This reflective practice not only reinforces learning but also helps candidates stay motivated, reminding them of their progress and the larger purpose behind their civil service aspirations.
