3. How to approach solving each question
Read the problem set.
Do not read it in detail, just read it to get an overview of the problem.
If you need more detail as you answer each question, go back and look at that part of the problem description.
First, answer any questions that you understand, and then go back and answer the more difficult ones.
You don’t want to miss an easy answer because you spent too much time on a difficult one.
Solve the answer in small pieces by using “English” and then put it all together.
If you look at the whole question, you may become overwhelmed.
Write your answer using Excel syntax.
Check for $.
Copy down? Only worry about $ in front of the number (row) in the cell address.
Copy across? Only worry about $ in front of the letter (column) in the cell address.
