Analysis of errors in objectives 
</h1>
This page shows the results of analysis of errors regarding objectives of solution steps for four performed tasks. You see the total number of errors per particular objective. Observe that the main problem is an addition of similar terms; accordingly, the recommended exercise trains this skill.
