Argh! Silly mistakes! How do you avoid them?

<p>I find I miss a majority of questions in math are do to stupid things like simply misreading the question. How do you avoid these kinds of mistakes while still moving a relatively rapid pace? Does this kind of skill simply come with more practice?</p>

<p>It will come more easily with practice…
most of the time all you need to do is to stay calm, but also focused.</p>

<p>Read the questions quickly and efficiently. Don’t let any one word fall through the crack.</p>

<p>Read carefully and note every word.</p>

<p>Haha, that was me.</p>

<p>The first time I took my SAT after extensive preparation, I forgot to bubble in two pages of free response–I got the score charts and realized that my 660 should have been a 770. Brutal.</p>
