Use the stated rehearsal inputs
The examples are original practice plans. A selected reserve is a planning input and no pass outcome is predicted. Keep the question count separate from a set count.
Explain which quantity the answer describes
Check whether the requested result is total time, answering time, an average or an official instruction. A correct division can still receive an incorrect label.
