Math Confidence Success Tip #1: Don't Look at the Answers ;)

Don’t write the answers on your review sheet -- otherwise the reworking of the problems may not happen. In Math, skills and knowledge are gained by working and reworking problems until the process is almost memorized (rather than the formulas)

Totally agree. Math problems must be worked on, and even completed wrongly, in order for the learning process to take place.
