Hello everyone -

When I work on practice SAT tests, I usually get around 1-2 math questions wrong due to silly careless errors, NOT because I do not understand the material. Unfortunately, these 1-2 questions can cost up to as much as 50 points on the math section…and they make me mad because I KNOW the material.

Does anyone have any tips or strategies on how to prevent careless errors? Currently I am recording all my careless mistakes into a notebook, but I was wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions.

Thank you!
