Hi! I seem to have an unusual problem. I have noticed, my aptitude for difficult problems is great. Even for 800+ problems I seem to initiatively understand or even as to get 95% right in terms of thought process to get the answer. Be it verbal or quant.
However, especially for quant, i seem to get all the easy ones esp 500-600 ones wrong. Keeping in mind I am a terrible test taker - I have extreme exam anxiety which I am working on; could you suggest some tips? As for exam anxiety, I am working on solving with timer + giving more tests.. but they don't seem to solve the 500-600 fix I seem to have. I understand concepts perfectly as evidenced through my thought process in the 700 level problems. Any advice appreciated.

If you're making some of these mistakes because of careless errors (i.e. forgetting that "0" is a non-positive integer), consider noting them down. Perhaps, when you see a question you think is easy, you could slow your pace a bit/double-check things a little more before confirming your answer choice. In regards to anxiety, thinking of a Plan B may help a person do Plan A more calmly.

Thank you! I am trying with a detailed error log for this time. I can't seem to understand why this happens for the 500 Level questions. I did think maybe my concepts weren't strong, but similar questions for 800+ level, i get them fine. I seem to be feeling quite disheartened in the process. Because on mocks if it starts with a 600 level, I do fine. If an official starts with 500 - I would crash.
Going to check if its too many careless mistakes.
I do want to provide fair disclaimer that I am probably a terrible test taker and that could have contributed.
