You can pick some Scheme code out there and read it, with an eye on adding comments and posting the diffs to be incorporated upstream. This exercise will help you gauge your understanding against that of those who maintain the code. Some positive side effects: code review, more comments (at an "appropriate" level), interaction with multiple "real world" examples and people. Caveat: the latter might degenerate into a negative experience, people being what they are, but then that's life outside the books.
