What is the role of a weekly review?

• A. It helps reflect on past performance only, without setting new goals.
• B. It helps adjust plans and set goals for the upcoming week.
• C. It is only needed during finals.
• D. It is optional and rarely beneficial.

Answer: (B)

A weekly review is about turning last week's work into a smarter plan for the week ahead. It helps adjust plans and set goals for the upcoming week by looking at what happened, deciding what to continue, what to finish, and what to start, and then choosing priorities for the next seven days.

This isn’t just reflection; it connects past results with future actions, so you don’t drift or waste time on low-priority tasks. It also reduces last-minute stress by giving you a clear path for the coming days.

The other options don’t fit because focusing only on past performance misses the forward planning that keeps you productive; it’s not something only needed during finals; and regular weekly reviews are widely beneficial, not optional.
