Question: `q013. Students often get the basic answers to nearly all, or even all these questions, correct.

It is very likely that there is something in the given solutions that is not expressed in your solution.

I have a really hard time with word problems, as soon as I see them I freak. The questions on dividing a certain number had me scared. I can hardly ever figure out what they are asking me. I hope to overcome this obstacle

&#I need to see the questions so I can be sure what your answers mean. Most of the time I can tell, but I'm dealing with information that comes in from over 1000 different files, containing a total of about 10 000 questions. While I'm familiar with the content and sequencing of the questions, having written them all, and know what I'm looking for, different students will answer these questions in different ways and I need to be able to relate your answers to the specific wording of each question. When reviewing my responses you will also need to be able to relate your answers and my comments to the specifics of the original document.

So it will be important for you on future documents to insert your responses into a copy of the original document, according to instructions, without otherwise changing any of the content of the original document. This will ensure you of the best possible feedback on your work. &#
