I have a problem, in particular in math part. I would have done at least 3 or 5 questions correctly or faster had I been more careful. Sometimes it happened like 35+12=37; sometimes like forgetting the prerequisite a question laid. This happens in verbal part too. Most frustrating is I sometimes even got it right after I clicked yes.
Any suggestions everyone to reduce such nonsense mistakes?

Hi mcwoodhill,
Most silly/little mistakes can be virtually eliminated if you just get in the habit of writing everything down on the pad. Every time you choose to do work 'in your head', you risk making a little mistake. Note-taking doesn't require much time or effort, so you should adjust your practice accordingly and work to take more notes.
As an aside, at the higher scoring levels, the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes - if you make too many of them, then a 700+ score will become impossible to achieve.

Thanks bro. Actually I kinda wrote everything done on the scratch paper. But I don't know why sometimes I even wrote 35+12=37
