In her Study Skills Handbook, Cottrell calls the many self assessment activities
"self evaluations".
Alternatively, what about a question as a title? Something like
How much do I know already?
What are my current skills?
Note the positive slant - nothing about what I don't know, or about my
weaknesses, although this will of course come out in any such "audit".
