**Read the whole problem (a, b, c...) BEFORE you start it. Often times the pieces of the problem will be connected.
**Pick a side and defend it. Don't ride the fence!
**If a problem says use TWO things to justify, make sure and use them BOTH! If a (c) says, use (a) and (b), use them both! If you are choosing between two options, don't just say why you like the one you choose, also state why you DON'T like the other.
Good luck!
