CS<\/strong>, questions are mostly conceptual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of asking direct formulas, questions test:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Logical understanding<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mathematical reasoning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Concept applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2714 Understanding concepts<br>\u2714
