In my basic facts so far I've gotten 100%. Basic facts is a test of basic equations for example 7x8=56. It includes addition,subtraction,multiplication and division. To improve I could start getting a better time, my current fastest time was 2 miutes and 45 seconds for 100 equasions. Since I'm great with my basic facts I need to improve in my problem solving skills. She said that it was part reading, her  advice was to read the question carefully.
