Examinations during the Seven Clean Days
Question
Answer
Hello
The concepts of "lechatchila" and "bediavad" mean that you have not fulfilled your obligation properly, even if she is pure with a "pass" grade.
Even a worn-out suit with holes in the elbows is still a suit. But you would never ask, "What's wrong with wearing such a suit — 'bediavad' it's still a suit."

During each of the seven days of counting, a woman should ideally check twice a day, once in the morning and once close to sunset (Tur in the name of Sefer HaTerumah and Avodat Parashah); if she did not check all seven days but only once, it does not matter whether she checked on the first day of the seven or on the seventh day or on one of the intermediate days, as long as she checked on the day before the seventh and found herself pure, it counts.
