| Weak area | Better drill type |
|---|---|
| Risk and planning misses | Case facts that require separating business risk, audit risk, and planned response. |
| Evidence misses | Procedure-selection prompts that test reliability, relevance, sufficiency, and timing. |
| Reporting misses | Scenarios that connect findings to modifications, emphasis, scope, or communication. |
| Ethics misses | Independence, confidentiality, competence, and escalation prompts in a Canadian professional context. |
