I believe that you are referring to an examination of conscience for the sacrament of penance (or confession). Called Examen in older manuals, this is when you examine your conscience at the end of each day so that when you have the opportunity to go to confession, you have adequately examined your life and have a good idea of where you have fallen and what your sins are. I have attached a couple of them at the links below the answer box. Please note that the third link below contains a complete description of the entire process involved in preparing for and making your confession. The actual examen is at the bottom of that page.
