Okay, so up until now I didn't realize just how low I can go on the test scale... on the last practice test for mat I got 550 (I know I know, I feel like shooting myself)

and when I reviewed the questions and answers again, the mistakes I've been making are definitely something that makes me put a gun to my head.
"Reflect point (5,2) across the x-axis" - the answer [s]an alien who wasn't me [/s] circled : (-5,-2). That is just one of the many stupid, careless mistakes I make when I'm on the clock.

I don't understand, I understand the concepts and know how to solve the problems and everything, but when the timer is on, I am such a shipwreck its not even funny.
Please, any advice how to minimize these mistakes would be helpful! How do you guys prepare for the math test? I'm planning on cramming this whole week (I'm taking it Saturday) so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Relax!!!
take few tests without time. do every question slowly and take all the time you need!
after 2-3 tests add timing (but don't feel obligate to finish on time)
when the time is up mark the questions you did on time , and keep on working - after 2-3 try to keep up on time
