Chapter 1C: Initial Assessment

"Therefore, we should compare and study every aspect of the enemy's position.
With these comparisons, we can know the winner of the battle.
If you use my tactics, follow my plan, you will definitely win.
I will then stay and give you support.
If you ignore my plan, you will be defeated, it's better for me to leave now."

How you can apply in your Maths?
You must be able to compare and study every aspect of the Topics, Methods and Steps of Doing.

Topic
Most importantly is to observe how the questions of certain topic are being asked.
How many ways can they ask?
If they asked differently, do you need to practise all - so-called different questions?
Are there patterns in how the questions are asked?

Steps of Doing
If questions are asked differently, are the steps of doing still the same or different?
If the steps of doing are different, you must know how are they different?
Example:
Step of Doing for Question 1: Transformation, Combine, Link then Answer.
Step of Doing for Question 2: Combine, Transformation, Link then answer
Step of Doing for Question 3: Transformation, Link then Answer.
Step of Doing for Question 4: "Break into Pieces" then answer.

I will say the Question 1 and 2 are actually the same except the arranging. I will learn them as 1. For the Question 3, I will just take note of the "Combine". I will still classified Question 3 as 1 thing to learn.

I will learn Question 4 as 2nd thing to learn.
See by being observing and look into the Steps of doing, not simply the question itself. You have less thing to learn. Lesser effort, greater result.

Instead of 4 things to learn, U reduced to 2 things. Wow!

Methods
The most important things to learn is to learn how to interpret questions in the ways that you can see it better. The method of interpreting question is called as "Question is the Answer" is a profound and powerful method. Our students are taught in that. You don't go about practising tons of questions to get the methods of doing Maths. Learn The CORE things. Practise indeed makes Perfection but not ignorance ways of practising. Using your wisdom to practise the RIGHT things. Practise doesn't means take up your pencils and do questions from 1st page till least page of the books. Practise means hands on, thinking, observing and etc.


With these comparisons, we can know whether we are a winner in Maths Test or Exam.


If you use my tactics, follow my plan, you will definitely win.
I will then stay and give you support
>> You will stay with Maths Specialist and I will impart more knowledge to you.
If you ignore my plan, you will be defeated, it's better for me to leave now.
>> You will be defeated by quiting the tuition,
searching around for tutors, make yourself exhausted.
It is better for you to quit and better for me to leave otherwise I will exhaust first.

You are not a cat so I believe you will not Copy.
