<p>I just got a 30 on practice test in pr 1296. when looking at correct answers (52/60), i should have gotten 58/60 (34 scaled) in terms of stuff I KNOW how to do, but were simple mistakes… how do i decrease these errors? thanks.</p>
<p>Double check the easier problems. You probably spend enough time on the harder ones as is. I never check my work on harder problems (due to time). The only ones I expect myself to make a mistake on are the easier ones. Of course, you should make your own judgement call during the real exam.</p>
<p>I’m going to start doing that. I’m just not sure if I should check afterward while going same pace (not having too much time to look over 20-30 questions…) or if i should simply slow down.</p>
<p>Pace yourself—don’t spend too much time on a single passage or question.
Answer the easy questions first, then go back and answer the more difficult ones if you have time remaining on that test.
Answer every question. Your scores on the multiple-choice tests are based on the number of questions you answer correctly. There is NO penalty for guessing.</p>
