(Read question and try to remember reasoning that gets to the answer) Prepare your formula sheet. Take the practice exam. It is no good to memorize answers. You have to understand and remember how you got the answers. R1 R2 I I R3 I I V Rbig Rsmall Ismall Ibig V same across both R's I2 I3 I1 I1 junction
