Speed comes from repetition, not only understanding

In Mathematics, understanding is necessary but not sufficient. ECAT rewards students who can move quickly through familiar patterns without losing control.

That only happens after repeated solving and formula familiarity.

Practice should include timing early

If students wait too long to add timing, they discover exam-speed problems late. Timed chapter sets expose slow chapters while there is still time to fix them.

This is especially important in calculus and algebra-heavy sections.

Review careless errors separately

Not every wrong answer comes from weak concepts. Some come from sign errors, rushed arithmetic, or skipping a condition in the question.

Track these separately. Reducing careless mistakes can lift scores faster than re-studying everything.
