Common mistakes
- Confusing arc and angle measure
- Wrong inscribed angle relationship
Review and practice tests
1. Start Review 1/10 when sets 1–3 feel comfortable. 2. Move up one review level with little help. 3. Use Practice Test 4/10–6/10 for mid-standard checks. 4. Practice Test 10/10 is the mastery bar for HSG.C.A.1.
