In a law school Federal Evidence final exam, what is generally the best chain of analysis in any question?

An example could be: when adressing witness tesitmony (either expert or lay), address rule 701 first, then 401, then hearsay, then 403, and finally address the constitutional rights of the Defendant.

What order makes the most sense where the grader can happily follow along?

I know an answer to this question is highly subjective and it really depends on the specific facts, the professor, what was actually taught in class, how long we have to complete the test, ect.

I am asking for a general answer BUT

If the answeror has time and would like to apply this question to these broad hypos:

A hearsay issue where the Declarant is available.

A hearsay issue when there is confrontation clause issue.

An expert witness giving opinions.

An issue where a criminal defendant's habit of doing bad stuff is trying to be admitted.

Any direction is greatly appreciated.
