Recall the core concept in your own words. Then apply it to a fresh example under 2 minutes.
The subject where the shortcut has always been most expensive.
The subject where wrong feels right — until Brainback slows you down.

Draw the free-body diagram. Actually draw it.
Balance the equation. In the right order.
Systems, not slogans.
