Title: Careless Mistakes
Post by: P0ppinfr3sh on October 23, 2013, 12:05:10 pm

Hey,

I was just wondering if you guys have any tips for reducing the number of careless mistakes you make on exams. It's starting to get really frustrating..... :-\

Thanks!

P.S. By careless mistakes, I mean something like dropping a negative, or doing something like 2x4=12

This is much too late, but re-read every line real quick after you write it. Unless you think you will have time at the end to check over your work.

maybe give yourself 100 questions like this to do each day under time limit. E.g. 7-2 x5 , 7-(-5)-6
Or just read over your multiplication  table again ;D
