CPTE sample evidence log: record what a trial actually showed

Decide what you want the sample to reveal

Choose one task before opening the sample: inspect how explanations support error review, see whether the format works on your device, or practise finding a reference. Keep this narrow. A sample is not a reliable stand-in for all unseen material.

Use three columns

Record an observation you can point to, the limited conclusion it supports, and what remains unknown. Example: “I could open the explanation on my phone” supports mobile access for that sample. It does not establish the accessibility or usability of every part of a paid course.

Keep the trial authorized and private

Use public samples or material you have legitimate access to. Do not copy examination content, personal clinical information or restricted questions into the comparison. Record a page title or location instead of reproducing the content.

Give the sample an honest boundary

One useful explanation may help you inspect the teaching style. It cannot prove every explanation is equally useful, full coverage, a pass probability or official endorsement. Record these as open questions rather than checked conditions.

Carry the evidence into a decision

For each resource, add one concrete observation to the sample check in the workbench. Compare it with a resource you already have. If it adds no useful task, schedule review time before adding another purchase.

Use the comparison, then choose a task

Write the decision and a revisit trigger so the comparison leads to an action.
