Good independent work and pinpointing of problem areas. Applies knowledge well where logic of question is clear, independently brings effective problem solving approaches from class.

Text-heavy questions or questions with indirect info remain a problem. Instinct to follow direct solution route rather than work from available info can lead to confusion when not all details are provided.

Good backchecking and isolation of topics to focus on.

Later exam questions that give indirect info or are unclear in what rule to apply remain difficult.

Good content knowledge, very capable of understanding and answering questions correctly if train of thought is not lost along the way

Identifying info given in question (longer text Qs especially), keeping info structured to apply in answering

Good independent work, ok subject knowledge, key study techniques already used

Extracting info from word questions, memory link of keyword -> formula/concept -> answer currently weak and sometimes confuses himself despite knowing the answer
