Re:Repetition of simple problems (Score 1)

Another point I might add is that if English is not your first language, attempt to buck it up at the same time. I have had foreign exchange students who found it difficult to learn maths simply because they could not understand the concepts that the textbook was trying to convey about a certain topic before the author delves into the mathematical formulas. This obviously leads to rote learning which would be a huge disadvantage later in the process.
