First of all, the landlord must have enough questions and good questions for you to brush, and only the sea is the last word (this is the experience of high school students' friends)
Secondly, there should be good enough teachers to teach you, so that you can learn their thinking imperceptibly. If your teacher is slow and afraid of difficult problems, you will be as slow as he is and often have no clue when doing problems. If you are strong enough, you can try Mr. Yang Shaojun from Nanshan School and see if you can take his class.
Finally, you should have a big enough vision. If you dare not spell better, then in the end, your determination can only support you to brush a few questions, and you won't get a prize.
As for the difficulty of the first prize, it is very simple. Just compare the multiple-choice questions at the end of the term with the most difficult questions you can do, and you will know. If your question is so difficult (note that it is compared with multiple-choice questions), then you will definitely not get the first prize. If your question is much more difficult than it, then the distance from the first prize depends only on how many decisions you usually make.
As for the basic skills, the landlord worked hard on his own. I hope the landlord will have a good result next year!
