Answer from a CatholicPersonal answer: when I do my examen each day (an examen is the Latin term for an exam or examination of conscience that you do at the end of the day), I go through the Ten Commandments, and the Seven Deadly sins to see where I fell short during the day. Thus, at the end of the week, I am all prepared for my weekly confession.

The Sermon on the Mount is probably the most comprehensive and beautiful teaching of Our Blessed Lord on how to live our lives, it covers chapters 5, 6, and 7 of St. Matthew's Gospel (an abbreviated form is found in St. Luke 6:20-49). The Sermon should be read regularly and used for meditation (Lectio Divina) to see if you are living your life in accord with Our Blessed Lord's instructions, or, more realistically, where you are falling short!
