Why Practice Should Go From Easy to Hard

Many students open the hardest problem first, struggle for an hour, and lose confidence. ICAD's solving system works the other way round.

What graded solving means

Questions are attempted in order, from easy to hard, and a student moves up only after feeling comfortable at the current level. Going from low to high, and avoiding the reverse, builds command at each stage before the next one begins.

How it looks at ICAD

Students spend 2 hours every day solving in the classroom under faculty supervision, and a record of the work is kept. The work is checked every month, so gaps are caught early and backlogs are covered before they grow.

Five habits you can copy at home

• Warm up with easy questions before the difficult ones.
• Move to the next level only after getting most of the current one right.
• Keep a mistake log and write down what went wrong each time.
• Separate silly mistakes from concept gaps; they need different fixes.
• Read the log again before every test.
