  • you can read question first before start read the whole problem description
2. answer

  • non real number answer symmetric provide hint for what wanna exam you
  • from answer can tell need skip first or try to solve earlier
  • from answer can know correct unit to use, percentage or real number
3. condition
  • most of the time problem will obviously state the condition
  • sometimes a hidden condition can be the critical point the problem can be solve correctly or not
  • one condition may include more than one requirement this is favorite way to make you make mistakes
