Description:

We at Shmoop are all about being proud of your strengths. We also enjoy identifying your, uh, not-so-strengths so we can help you dominate them with a few well-placed ninja kicks. (If your brain could kick, anyway.) That's what our diagnostic exams are for. Don't think of them as tests; think of them as tools to help you figure out where to focus your review.
