Deductive Geometry Test

Phuong Nguyen completed a deductive geometry test assessing their understanding of geometry concepts through solving problems and proving theorems. They achieved the highest level of mastery based on successfully completing all questions, demonstrating strong logical reasoning and use of precise geometry terminology in their working. Their working showed consistent labelling of diagrams and listing of reasons for deductions. This indicates excellent knowledge and communication of geometry concepts.
