4. Agree which tests you will use

Required

With your counselor, before anything is measured. These same tests are repeated at weeks 4, 8 and 12, so they are chosen once and kept.

Note. These same tests are repeated four times (before, at week 4, at week 8, and after week 12), so they are agreed once and then kept. Changing a test part way through leaves nothing to compare.
