How to approach solving each question
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Write your answer using Excel syntax.
4. 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.
