How can I maximise my physics sac results?

[lazy river]

Hi, I'm a year 10 student doing units 1/2 physics and math methods. In regards to physics however, lately I've been getting scores of around 87%-90% in my sacs. I'm not too happy about this because I lose marks worth 4% each by doing really stupid mistakes. Lol for example, there was a question where I needed to use ∆v=v+u but instead I wrote ∆v=v-u which cost me the whole question.
Is there anyway where I can stop myself from making these really dumb mistakes? Any strategies?
Thanks a lot

Hey!
I used to track mistakes that I'd make in practice, in a mistake logbook. I reviewed this regularly, and made notes where my mistakes were most common.

This might be a tool you might want to use in the future, if it sounds up your alley!

Hope this helps!

With stupid mistakes (urgh god they're annoying) my strategy is to check whether the answer I got makes sense after doing the question. Eg usually if I made some careless mistake with calculations I'd end up with an answer that seems a bit 'off' which is a red flag for me to check my working.
