The region of proximal learning suggests that Ruthie should focus on studying the items that are relatively easy for her but that she has not yet mastered. This will help her to quickly build upon her existing knowledge and increase her competency in the subject. By doing this, Ruthie can make the most out of her study time and increase her chances of success on the test. Making JOLs (justified true beliefs), or judgments of learning, can also be helpful in identifying which items are relatively easy for her and which ones need more attention.
