Remember CCQ's are YOUR THOUGHTS. You need to make sure you not only share your thought, but why you had that thought.

Find someone (not necessarily the person next to you!) who worked on the same section and edit and revise your work so that it is**as accurate as you think you can make it** based upon your reading.
