Explanation:

If a student claims that he did not study the material for a specific question, the appropriate corrective step would be to practice before the exam by trying to predict possible questions better. Usually, the material provided by the teacher can easily help find the possible questions.

If a student claims that he confused terms or concepts that he already knew well, the appropriate corrective step would be to take more time to read carefully and think before answering a question during the exam, to make sure that the concepts are correct.

If a student claims that he confused terms or concepts, the appropriate corrective step would be to check and practice his active reading and

listening skills while studying to make sure he gets a good understanding of the concepts.

If a student claims that he forgot to go back to a question he had skipped over, the appropriate corrective step would be to slow down during the exam to make sure everything is correct.
