Muddiest point

My muddiest point is the story problems. It's not so much the math that's the problem it's just figuring out what the question is asking. If I don't understand what the question is asking then I have no idea what to do. Usually I have to read the questions a couple times and underline the information given to be able to figure it out. I'm slowly starting to figure out how to find out what the questions are actually asking me to do and I'm starting to get faster at figuring out the questions.
