+
+## 💡 Pro Tips
+
+1. **Deploy by Sunday**, not Tuesday
+   - Gives you 2 days to debug if needed
+
+2. **Use Neo4j Browser for debugging**
+   - Built into Aura console
+   - Test queries before putting in app
+
+3. **Start ugly, polish later**
+   - Get data loading first (st.dataframe)
+   - Add fancy charts afterward
+
+4. **Use @st.cache_resource and @st.cache_data**
+   - Caching prevents repeated Neo4j queries
+   - Makes app faster
+
+5. **Read error messages carefully**
+   - Usually tells you exactly what's wrong
+   - "Connection refused" → check .env
+   - "KeyError" → check query results

+
+## ❓ Common Questions
+
+**Q: Do I need to write the code from scratch?**  
+A: No! Everything is provided in [LEVEL5_L6_COMPLETE_SOLUTION.md](LEVEL5_L6_COMPLETE_SOLUTION.md). Just copy and run.
+
+**Q: Can I use different tech stack?**  
+A: No. Must be Neo4j + Streamlit. No SQL, no Flask, no React.
+
+**Q: Do I need to do L5 before L6?**  
+A: Strongly recommended. L5 is your blueprint for L6. Both due same day anyway.
+
+**Q: How long will this take?**  
+A: 4-8 hours if you copy code, 15-20 hours if you build from scratch. Solution is ready to use.
+
+**Q: What if I get stuck?**  
+A: See LEVEL6_ADVANCED_GUIDE.md "Common Issues" section (covers 90% of problems).
+
+**Q: Can I modify the CSV data?**  
+A: No. Everyone uses same data. Changes = automatic fail.
+
+**Q: Can I work with a friend?**  
+A: Discuss yes, but code must be individual. Identical code = both get 0.
