I’m inclined to agree with tigerdad, for the most part.

Any missed questions, including silly errors, are legitimate mistakes. They aren’t unavoidable, especially when it isn’t a difficult feat to finish each section with 5+ minutes left. This leaves time to check and double check every solution. If you make a silly error and don’t have time to check your work, you weren’t strong enough in maths to finish the section quickly. If you have time to check your work and don’t catch your silly error, I think that “silliness” turns into a legitimate mistake at that point. In other words, if you do a problem incorrectly twice, it isn’t a silly error. You just missed it.
