Practise lots of past papers. Make note of what errors you are making.how do i genuinely stop making silly mistakes in an exam. i lost 5 marks just from silly mistakes and its getting rlly annoying. pls help.
I think these really just form from u rushing allot. its mindset that you also needa focus on not just the math.how do i genuinely stop making silly mistakes in an exam. i lost 5 marks just from silly mistakes and its getting rlly annoying. pls help.
yeah but the exam was an ngo exam and usually the last few qs r pretty hard which take time. i was able to solve the hard qs and if i hadnt lost 5 marks to silly mistakes i wouldve only lost 3 marks on the whole exam. silly mistakes actually make me wanna drop matb no joke. and its just so hard to avoid becauss whenever i have an exam where i wasnt able to sleep the night before (true in this case cos i dont have ac or fan in my room and it was like 40 degrees the night before the exam so i couldnt sleep at all - which is a common recurring issue) i always make so many more silly mistakes.work on ur speed so you have time at the end to go thru each question and double check (silly mistakes are my mortal enemy)
When im doing qs at home i dont even make silly mistakes its only in the actual exam bruhLots. Of. Practise. Papers.
Over and over. In exam conditions. Redo questions you get wrong. Pay attention to what you're doing. Underline key parts of the question. Etc. Etc.
The good thing about silly mistakes is that they're fixable. It just takes practice.
damn bro wishing you luckyeah but the exam was an ngo exam and usually the last few qs r pretty hard which take time. i was able to solve the hard qs and if i hadnt lost 5 marks to silly mistakes i wouldve only lost 3 marks on the whole exam. silly mistakes actually make me wanna drop matb no joke. and its just so hard to avoid becauss whenever i have an exam where i wasnt able to sleep the night before (true in this case cos i dont have ac or fan in my room and it was like 40 degrees the night before the exam so i couldnt sleep at all - which is a common recurring issue) i always make so many more silly mistakes.

Again, that means its not your mathematical capabilities, but lack to self care. Sounds cliche, but meditation really helps. At this age, we're used to scrolling endlessly on our phones, which leads to increasing tendency to lose focus. This is where students misread questions, accidentally make the wrong calculation, miss subtle considerations in the qn, etc. Sleep is essential asw as it will have a significant impact on your critical thinking performance. And with all the stress you're clearly putting on yourself, it likely may contribute to your lack of sleep in conjunction with your AC problem. (pls invest in those portable acs btw- worth every cent). The nature of this post suggests you've become increasingly more stressed in exams, and honestly you could grind out papers for 13 hours of a day, or ask this forum to which everyone replied with 'do more past papers', which don't get me wrong, it does help allot, but only so much. The rest is up to you and how you'll perform on the day. This performance will not solely be on how many papers you do, but how your critical thinking will operate on the day.yeah but the exam was an ngo exam and usually the last few qs r pretty hard which take time. i was able to solve the hard qs and if i hadnt lost 5 marks to silly mistakes i wouldve only lost 3 marks on the whole exam. silly mistakes actually make me wanna drop matb no joke. and its just so hard to avoid becauss whenever i have an exam where i wasnt able to sleep the night before (true in this case cos i dont have ac or fan in my room and it was like 40 degrees the night before the exam so i couldnt sleep at all - which is a common recurring issue) i always make so many more silly mistakes.
Bruh i wrote 2/3 × 3 =6 which fucked my whole answer and then for a first principle q i wrote the h for the denominator in the first step and mistakenly forgot to write it in the second step, which again, fucked up my whole answer. Thats 3 marks already lost just from the simplest shit. Actually made me so pissed off cos i know that ill be screwed if i keep doing this in y11 and 12Again, that means its not your mathematical capabilities, but lack to self care.

Yeah i agree with what u said and i think my problem with sleeping is the primary cause of it cos like, i definitely know what 2/3×3 is but i just cannot fix it bruh. Ive found that its a recurring problem everytime i make silly mistakes on exams and it annoys tf out of me cos i know that those 5 marks were lost for absolutely no good reasonI just saw this lol mb but I elaborated a little more above^
