Common pitfalls and how the quiz stays fair

Many learners mix up timelines (especially pre-1978 reforms versus revolutionary milestones) or over-credit a single cause; this quiz pushes you to connect multiple strands without losing chronology.

Difficulty is balanced by mixing straightforward identification questions with scenario-style prompts and consequence-focused items, so you can build confidence while still being challenged.
