If silly mistakes are hurting your score, then it's important that you identify and categorize these mistakes. Some examples might include:
- sloppy writing causes a 7 to mysteriously turn into a 1
- you forget that a question is an EXCEPT question.
- you fail to notice crucial information such as x is an integer or w < 0.
- you calculate Pat’s current age when the question asked for Pat’s age 5 years from now.
- and so on

Once you’ve identified the types of mistakes that YOU typically make, you’ll be able to spot specific situations/questions in which you're prone to making errors and take the steps to avoid making the usual mistakes.

That said, many students benefit from a strategy of reading the question, determining the answer, then re-reading the question to ensure it was interpreted correctly the first time, and then submitting a response. Time consuming, but helps fend off silly mistakes.
