How to practice more E-Mathsquestions in shortest time.

Often, when the exam is coming soon, students will encounter a problem while trying to practice more questions.

Below are a few tips to practice more questions in short period:


1. Do more challenging questions first.
  • Normally, in an assessment book, the easier questions come first, followed by the tougher question. If the assessment book is in topical format, you may try the last question, normally denoted with a *, or highlighted by the book. If you are comfortable in solving a few of such questions, you may proceed to do another topic.
2.Think, with no writiing.
  • It maybe very time consuming if you want to write down all the steps and working to get the answer. Furthermore, normally students are facing the problem of understanding the questions during exam, rather than don't know certain topic. Hence, this is to practice the students on understanding the question pattern and hence help in solving question in shorter time.
3.Learn beyond scope.
  • Normally, experience help when solving question. If the scope of learning is only to know how to solve simple questions, find more challenging questions to do. It will not be a waste to know more than current scope, as eventually students will learn it in higher level, however, keep in mind that, if we know how to solve the questions of higher level, normally to solve lower level questions will not be tough.
4.Practice, Practice, and Practice
  • Although we have summarize on how to practice more effectively, practices are still something that must not be missed. Students need to do a lot of practices, to prepare for the high tension environment during exam. For students with more practices, normally the questions will be solved with ease.
All the best for the coming exam. In Flexi Tuition Learning Group website, we will keep posting questions , some with answers to help students in preparing for the exam.:
