Query Regarding Daily Assignments

[siddharth.pachauri]

I had a query regarding the daily assignments. I was going through the study organizer and in there certain tasks says General while a couple of them are under Advanced. As per my understanding Advanced is typically when you have mastered the General and want to get extra practice. I wanted to know whether the work under the Advanced section is a nice to have or is it imperative that you do these in addition to the daily General problems/reading.

Thanks

As a general rule, the General material should be done first, and you should not move to any particular category of Advanced material until you feel comfortable with the corresponding General material. Because much of the Advanced material builds on the General material, it's typically not worth your time to try the Advanced material until you are actually ready to handle it.

In terms of whether the Advanced material is "nice to have" or "imperative," that all depends upon your eventual goal. If your eventual goal is a 750, all of the material is imperative. If your eventual goal is a 700, you will need to master some of the Advanced material. if your eventual goal is a 650, you can get away with mastering the General material plus a bit of the Advanced material in your areas of greatest strength. And so on.
