How to avoid silly mistakes in quant and di?
I have exam on 19 nov ?
Any tips for these few days ?
You have to target the causes and triggers for the silly mistakes
For example, if you always make a mistake when you add seven and five together and you end up with 13, that was my problem for some reason, I would do the calculation fast but then go back and see if I messed anything up. Thankfully my mistakes were unique and twice in the real GMAT I came up with an answer that wasn’t one of the options so I still didn’t quite succeed
I made a lot of changes to my test routine I noticed that I made a lot of mistakes by combining information between questions thinking that I eliminated one of the answers but that was on the previous question so I forced myself to pause for five seconds between each question and do a mental reset. Basically this will be extra effort you’ll be putting in to avoid those mistakes but with only 20 questions per section, or about, every question counts and you have to make the most out of it
