I was always top 1% in math classes. My entire strategy: 1. Look at answer in back of book first 2. Reverse engineer each step to answer With a blueprint, I could find patterns. “Equation 3 had nuance A at step 4.” Which I then extrapolated. And applied to other equations.
I was always top 0.001% in math class. I refused to acknowledge subtract and divide, only adding and multiply. This put me in good stead going forward. Mathmatical abundance mindset.
