You're right here...thanks for adding that. My point is simply that you need to get back to the room in time.

Hi Brett,

I had a bit of a hiatus with taking the test... Still can't get above 600... That said, I admit I wasn't following what you said very closely.. But now I am.

One thing I don't understand is when you said

"-Reinforce your learning: Do a problem that uses a similar technique or concept."

The thing is, how do you find these problems? The OG only has so many problems of a particular type, especially abstract ones (i.e. if p is the product of the integers from 1 to 30, inclusive, what's the greatest integer for which 3 to the power of k is a factor of p) --> a question like this is fairly abstract- where would you find similar questions ??

Thanks!

Actually I will reclarify something: I've been studying quite a bit and doing a lot of questions, but I find myself making a lot of stupid mistakes. Stuff like seeing the square root of 125 and thinking that it is 5, and using that in the rest of the question. I don't even realise I'm doing it most of the time!
Any tips how to reduce these silly errors?

thanks
