Aaron is improving slowly in terms of focus. Maintaining concentration across multiple long and taxing questions with only small breaks. Though still making careless mistakes Aarons algebra is fairly solid. As long as he can avoid silly mistakes he can expect excellent marks

Lots of calculation errors, silly mistakes, and Aaron confused himself a few times due to his slightly ambiguous handwriting. Still using mental shortcuts for even slightly unfamiliar situations resulting in mistakes that Aaron could not see since he will double check his work using his incorrect assumptions. Best way around this is practice similar questions, a lot, until he is able to make a habit of it

Fantastic work. Breezed through the easy questions, had little trouble with difficult questions.

Issues with algebra when it comes to long and messy questions. Careless mistakes such as copying down the wrong things, signs, brackets, breaking brackets, not remembering how to balance brackets

Aaron really grappled with the questions, persevering despite the more word based, higher difficulty problems today. Fantastic effort Attempting to utilise techniques and tools with roughly the right idea

Struggles greatly with systematically searching for solutions. Was unable to visualise and solve a simple problem in 3d space. Nothing a bit of practice can’t fix

Good progress on visualisation, was able to visualise a cube and correctly count out various surfaces. Though it seem Aaron prefers to picture things in 2d, which would explain the trouble with 3d geometry

Aaron needs to make a habit of thinking systematically, he would rather check random solutions and bounce back and forth between dead ends than to check possible solutions in an organised fashion Too single minded in pursuing his thoughts, even when the solution is laid out in simple terms, more practice at seeing questions from different prospectives would help. In other words more complex questions
