I wanted to know why it happens that sometimes I take the test and I get the question wrong, but while revisiting the question later I can answer it perfectly without revising the concept. Was I nervous during the test? mind was tired? silly mistake?

Hi tr123,
You ask a great question. When self-analyzing how you feel during a test, would you say that you are ever nervous? Would you say that at times you are rushing because you are afraid of running out of time? Both of those reasons certainly could be the cause of your mistakes. With that in mind, I have two very helpful articles that you can check out:

Hi tr123,
Most silly/little mistakes can be traced back to a lack of proper note-taking. Every time you choose not to take notes, you will greatly increase your chance of making that type of little mistake. Doing work "in your head" is the WORST way to approach a GMAT question, so you should not purposely choose to work that way. You don't have to be a genius or a 'fast reader' to score at a high level on the GMAT, but you have to be organized and efficient with how you approach questions - and to really maximize your performance, you have to train to take advantage of the Tactics, patterns and little 'secrets' of the Exam. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Test, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
