This question aims to see how resourceful you are and whether you exhibit outside-of-the-box thinking. They're seeking to measure your preferred working style, how you problem solve and overcome obstacles, and whether your approach (not cheating) meets their ethical standards. You want your answer to exhibit determination and that you aren't easily discouraged. Frame yourself as resourceful, with a propensity to think fast on your feet, and knowing when and where to look for help if you need it. Whether you reach out to other students, have additional conversations with your professors, or engage a tutor to help you better understand the material, explain your approach to overcoming such difficulties. Where there is a will, there is a way, is the attitude you want to convey. Discuss your approach and how it has benefitted you in the past.
