Meanwhile, the respondents often utilized coping strategies. It is also shown that one of the best strategies they utilized to cope with the difficulties they encountered was to ask their classmates about the strategies/processes used in getting the right answer. Results bared that there is no significant difference in the difficulties encountered by the respondents in dealing with worded-problems when grouped according to sex and year level.
