Brent,

Quick question, during math review days (day 5 and 6) you mentioned to "tackle the following question". What does 'tackle' exactly means?

1. Just attempt the question with best time you can achieve? Forget about reviewing them at the end of exam, just count how many you got right
-OR-
2. After finishing the answers review all the questions and answers whether you got it right or wrong?
-OR-
3. Review only those which are wrong and the ones which you guessed or have some doubts?

3rd should the best strategy isn't it? Or do you want us, not to review the answers at this point of time?

Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Aurobindo

Hi Aurobindo.

By "tackle" I mean answer the question and then review the solution.
For math questions, I think it's a good idea to review the solution regardless of whether you answered the question correctly. Even though you may have answered the question correctly, the solution may reveal another approach that may be of use in the future.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Brent
