Doing hard problems first?

<p>I was thinking, wouldn't it be easier to do the hard math problems first, then go to the easy ones? When you have more time to do the problems you have less stress, and wouldn't less stress on the hard ones be a good thing? opinions?</p>

<p>Not at all. What if you spend too much time on the hard questions and don’t have time to finish all the easy ones? They have the same value.</p>

<p>Yea, but I always finish all the problems going from easy to hard.</p>

<p>then do the easy ones, you will know there easy if u’ve done 100 problems liek it or if u mapped out the process to get to the solution right after ur done reading the question. Skip anything u consider “hard” and just put a star next to it, then come back to it.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t because everyone gets that feeling where you’re looking at that test booklet, getting ready to open it, and all of a sudden you feel that all your studying and strategies are gone, you’re just concentrated on the test, its impact, etc. It took me 2 minutes on a CR section to actually answer the first few vocab questions because I wasn’t in sync. Do the easy ones first, they get your mind used to it as you go along. Can you imagine starting your day off with a hard math question!</p>

<p>I think that’s a way worse strategy. If anything, it would increase stress. Think about look at the clock and finding that a quarter of the time has passed and you’ve done like 3-5 questions vs. the first like 10-15 easy ones</p>

<p>^ That’s very true. I would strongly strongly recommend starting off with easy questions BECAUSE you are ensured of those easy points!! I understand how you’re thinking of those frustrating hard questions, but I just think it’s much much better to get the easy points first. Seriously.</p>

<p>I would answer questions while you spend times on looking for the hard questions</p>
