eliminating STUPID STUPID mistakes (1 Viewer)

[iambored]

do u have any ideas? what WORKS?
i make like 10% stupid mistakes in every exam, i try to go slow, i practice before, but i just do the worst things
what works to get rid of them?

 

[...]

go over ur work....


look over ur answers, if the answers dun look right(ie. the mass of an object somehow turns out to be 1000000000 kg)

yeah usually looking over work will fix it. If i don't get the chance to look back i know for sure i'd do heaps of stupid mistakes

one in particular in my halfyear.

-4 / 2 = 2

i did that and i was hitting myself for the next week for being so stupid

only thing to do is to practice exams under exam conditions

Sleep. zZZZzzzZZZzz

hmm ok
i just do the crappest things
in the end it'll be the difference between a good and crap band

yeh omg its like you know how to do the question then some little errors wrecks it =( ..
i guess it helps to double check and work time effective, but then there no time ~~

yep exactly, and u end up with the same mark as someone who didn't know what they were doing for that q!

speed up your working, finish the exam in 2:30 and check everything over.

dont be angry, as a matter of fact
be happy.

value and treasure ur mistakes. keep a list of ALL ur mathematical mistakes uve ever made. write next 2 each mistake what the mistake was and how to do it correctly.

treasure ur past papers that u havent gone so well in. the only way to stop commiting these dumbass errors is to learn the 'error', not the 'question' itself.

i had the same problem in a test, i knew the question. i knew how 2 do it, blah blah.
stupid mistake and i got screwed over.

i kept a list, i worked on my errors. and a 2 months later the next exam comes along.

AND I FUCKING RAPED IT!!!!!

its all good.

 

[iambored]

someone else has said that it's good - it's a sign u know the course, it's better tomake those mistakes that mistakes on qs u dont understand

 

[FLR-IT]

all u have to do is concentrate

obviously there is something else on ur mind that is causing the errors

Ew

 

[Fply]

I make the same mistakes as well, but when I slow down the speed it hardly appears again ,

if it's small errors,

positive thinking: the markers carry on the errors and you'll lose minimum marks

negative thinking: could be the difference between 99.8% and 100%

or the difference between 85% and 93%
