A 70% goal sounds simple, but it helps to translate it into the math of points. If a quiz has 20 questions worth 1 point each, 70% means 14 correct. If it has 30 points total, 70% means you want 21 points. That’s the kind of clarity your brain can actually act on.
Here’s the key: you don’t need every answer right. You need a strategy that protects your easiest points while you work to earn more from the “medium” questions.
- Step 1: List the problem types your class is using (like solving linear equations, fractions, word problems, or geometry angles).
- Step 2: Identify which types you’re most likely to get right under time pressure.
- Step 3: Practice those types until they feel routine, then move to the next tier.
