Is it worth doing every question in the book, not just the one that our teachers set us

Hey!
It depends on what suits you best. The textbook questions sometimes don't reflect the set exams, so some people may choose to do only the assigned ones. However if you're having difficulty with a set of a questions, it may be worthwhile doing all the questions for that topic. It maybe worthwhile checking out checkpoints for exam questions as well. :)

Tldr: up to you and how you feel with regards to each topic and perhaps look into checkpoints/exams :)

Edit: just sure that you were doing unit 1/2 :)

If aiming for 40+ raw, is doing just the assigned ones enough

I found the assigned ones made sure you knew how to use the rules. Once you understood how to use them and could use the formulas, the extra weren't useful. It was mainly past exam questions that were the most help. If you're struggling with a topic, do all of the questions like insanipi said but if you can use and apply the formula with enough speed, the extra don't help that much
