During what SAT phase should you assess completed evaluation worksheets and write an AAR?

• A. Plan
• B. Evaluate
• C. Execute
• D. Assess

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that post-event analysis and capturing lessons learned happen in the Evaluate phase. After the training event, you review the completed evaluation worksheets to interpret performance data, determine what went well and what didn’t, and then write the After Action Review to document findings and improvement recommendations. This phase is specifically about analyzing results, comparing them to standards, and turning that analysis into actionable insights, which is exactly what the AAR represents.

The other stages are about preparing or executing the event or about ongoing checks and progress during the cycle. They don’t centralize the formal analysis and documentation of outcomes and lessons learned in the same way, so the Evaluate phase is the best fit for assessing the materials and producing the AAR.
