  2. Mark down your overall score for that CLR. You may wish to note some items you might be able to use as evidence of this learning if you proceed with PLAR.
  3. Complete the same process for each CLR.

Note: Expand this table if the course has a greater number of CLRs or Embedded Knowledge or Skill statements.
