Linear Setup Practice Drills - Is excessive diagramming necessary during actual tests?

[rragepack]

Hi!

I saw that the answer sheet diagrammed the problem very excessively at some points (e.g. #8,9). Is this always necessary during tests? How detailed should you make your diagrams during tests? I sometimes feel like I do not need to display that much.

Thank you.

Hi rragepack,

Thanks for the questions! Let me answer broadly by pointing out that this is a drill, and the purpose of the drill is to help you understand how the idea works in specific. So, there will be instances where we go to the great lengths with some of the diagrams because we are testing this particular skill. It's not meant to be a full-on game experience, or even a replication of an actual game. So, there examples in this drill set where no, I wouldn't show every single one during a game. But at this point, I'm not worried about that because I'm looking for you to build this skill so that later—when you need it—it's there for you to call upon

So for now, focus on trying to find them all; then later, when you are doing actual games you can show what you find useful and ignore the rest!

I think that covers all your points but if not, just let me know. Thanks!

Thank you. That helps.
