Therefore, before the quiz, I will do the exercise carefully, repeatedly. When I was do the exercise, I always use “step” to check if I am really understanding each step. Furthermore, if there is enough time (yes, there always is), I will write down some expressions/ function from the exercise and give myself a mock quiz. This is truly helpful.
