It doesn't matter if it's review or not. Even if it's not being graded, this is work you should be doing, not submitting for someone else to do for you. Why should someone else want to take all their time doing your questions when it appears that you haven't attempted to do it yourself yet?

If you have attempted it, then submit your answers and someone can check them.
