Unit 2: Self-Management Skills - IV

Correct answer: A. Prevention-based self-regulation

The student first notices a repeated error and recognises the situation in which it is likely to occur. Planning a reminder, checklist, pause, or other corrective action before the stressful situation arises is more than merely noticing the problem; it is prevention-based self-regulation. Therefore, option A is correct. The other options avoid responsibility or leave performance to chance rather than managing behaviour deliberately.

Correct answer: B. Politely stating the time boundary and promising to meet later

A mature balance does not mean abandoning either friends or personal goals. The student communicates respectfully, explains that study time is limited, and suggests another suitable time to meet. This protects the academic responsibility while also showing care for the relationship. Option A neglects the goal, option C treats relationships as a problem, and option D avoids responsibility instead of solving the situation constructively.

Correct answer: A. Identifying a weakness and deciding the practice time, method, and review schedule

Self-reflection becomes behaviour change only when insight leads to a specific action. In option A, the student identifies a weakness and creates a practical plan with a time, method, and review point; these details make the improvement observable and trackable. Feeling sad may be an emotion but is not a plan, hiding mistakes prevents learning, and blaming others avoids personal responsibility.
