These information is very old, back in 2010-2011. This is written by Chris Hohmann 1. The 4 right / 1 wrong rule isn't compulsory, but I think it may be optimal from a point management standpoint. As soon as you get 5 in a row, the points you receive for each correct answer drops. In the case of the earlier exercises it drops from 225 to 210. In the case of the later exercises it drops from 75 to 70 I think. And the points per question drops 15 or 5 points every time you breach the 4 correct answers in a row threshold.

2. Very interesting! I had noticed some repetition, but did not see a pattern.

3. Agreed. Although, I had considered creating a javascript program to do the Addition 1 exercise that could be run in the background but that seemed excessive.

4. Agreed. 7500 points for 75 questions works out to 100 points per question. A great return on investment. :) If your friend has the light speed badge for Evaluating Composite Functions(Functions 3) I'd be impressed.

Here are a few more tips in no particular order:

5. Wolfram alpha and Excel are your friends. At some point, I'm going to aggregate all my Excel cheat sheets into one file and post them or maybe publish it via Google spreadsheet.

6. Get the low hanging fruit first. There are a lot of exercises with a limited answer space that can be churned through pretty quickly. Obviously the earlier exercises fall in this category, but so do some of the later exercises like inscribed angles, angles of a polygon, etc...

7. Use the keyboard. Avoid the mouse. You can submit your answer by pressing the enter key twice.

8. Calculate what your point total will be at the 150 question attempts mark before you begin an exercise. That way you know when to end the 4 right / 1 wrong sequence and begin trying for the light speed badge.
