How can I practise being assessed and given feedback like a real performance review?

Hey Monika's Critical Thinking and AI Challenge is built for exactly this gap, and the Adele Month End or Adele Year End Scenario gives it a real client to attach to — a month-end and year-end focused scenario used for close-down, accruals and review work. Working through getting specific, honest feedback on your work from Monika rather than a generic pass or fail inside that Scenario, with documents arriving in the vault the way they would from a genuine client, is a closer rehearsal for the job than reading about the process ever is. More detail Start with Critical Thinking and AI Challenge to isolate the core technical skill before adding a client relationship on top of it. Move into the Adele Month End or Adele Year End Scenario, where the same skill shows up inside real documents and client correspondence rather than as a standalone exercise. Read Monika's feedback properly and redo anything she flags — repetition with correction is what actually builds the skill, not a single pass. Repeat the same task a second time once you've had feedback — the second attempt is usually where it actually clicks.Frequently asked questions Do I need any experience before trying the Adele Month End or Adele Year End Scenario? No. Hey Monika's Scenarios and Challenge Mode tasks are built so a complete beginner can start straight away — Monika's feedback is there precisely because you're not expected to already know the answer. How long does this usually take to feel comfortable with? Most trainees need two or three attempts at the same Scenario or Challenge before it stops feeling unfamiliar. The value is in repeating it with Monika's feedback applied each time, not in getting it right first go. Is this the same as just reading about feedback and assessment in a textbook? No — the difference is that you're handling real documents, a real (if fictional) client, and in some Scenarios a live voice call, rather than reading a description of how the process works in theory. Get started Start with the Adele Month End or Adele Year End Scenario this week, and don't skip Monika's feedback even when you think you got it right — that's usually where the most useful corrections turn up.
