Write down the timeline you already have, in three slots: what happens ahead of the key event, what happens inside it, and what follows. This is the baseline picture, taken as-is, before you change anything about the order.

Example

For your statistics study: before, you watch a 40-minute lecture; during, you read the chapter; after, you attempt eight practice problems at 11pm. Written out, you can see the testing all sits after the learning, with nothing checking comprehension in between.
