ace (verbo)
gabaritar


Explanation:
Me soa um pouquinho estranho na frase, mas comparando com o que o Aulete sugere, está dentro dos usos: "Gabarite a sua preparação para as habilidades medidas pelos exames de certificação — e no trabalho."

Do verbete do Aulete, as frases-exemplo (principalmente a 3):
1. "No vestibular, poucos são os que gabaritam a prova." "Estudou muito para o exame, e acha que pode gabaritar."
2. "Apesar dos avanços na robótica, não se podem gabaritar completamente seres humanos ou comportamentos"
3. "Organizaram cursos para gabaritar os funcionários" "O curso vai gabaritá-los a/para um bom desempenho na profissão"
