So I scored a 640-670 on a practice test Sunday.
I'm going over the problems I got wrong, and there are truly very few problems that I completely do not understand.
I'm doing those that I got wrong on the test, and I'm getting them correct, after the fact. On these problems, they are so easy that I think to myself, how did I get this wrong when I did it the first time? It feels as though I'm panicking and it is hurting my score.
When I take practice tests I often feel my mind getting cluttered, trying to think too fast, and not processing clearly, forcing me to skip problems because I cannot properly break the question down.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and has anybody truly conquered this? If so, how?

Perhaps, but I tend to classify them as careless and idiotic errors. Not sure if that is what you mean.
On the other hand, I have read from several places that correct and consistent process on each question type is supposed to decrease these kind of errors.
I hope that helps.

Here's an example of one I got wrong, but absolutely know how to do.
I'm going back now... calm, relaxed, and I got the answer in about 30 seconds.
But when I was doing it under the simulation of a real test, I got it wrong and took 59 seconds. I remember what was going on there and my mind was trying to think too fast...
I may have been trying to double check, solve, think of other solutions etc etc at the same time and got all the numbers mixed... I don't know. Maybe we should start practicing zen or meditating, lol
