An Antidote to Silly Mistakes on Math Tests

Do you ever make stupid mistakes on your math tests because you’re hurrying too much?
I have a client who was consistently scoring a letter grade lower every test because of silly mistakes. My solution for him? Check out the video for details about what it means to "study “in the manner of the test” and how we apply this idea to math tests to simulate the time deadline, and eradicate silly mistakes.

Honestly I always understand the material. I always get Bs because I make dumb mistakes. I double check my work. I move slow. I write down all my work neatly. Nothing helps.

@@shehransalam4838 it literally doesn’t work, I’ve been reduced to spending every minute of my free time practicing for the last 6 months. Nothing.

@@anunimates_2690 make test like situations at home, and find your silly mistakes. Also, don’t study everything, study what is going to be on the test. Take it from someone who used failed math and placed in the 10th percentile in my state to acing math class and being in the 98th percentile . Hope this helps, and never give up👍

Imagine I knew how to do every question on my math test but I ended up getting 65 out of 80 which was 2 marks off a grade 9 from silly mistakes :(. this was very helpful

[@elongatedmuskrat1827]

Bro I got 56% and I would have got 80% without the mistakes ( I redid the paper at home) so imagine how mad I was

[@JacobAndJamal]

Yeah , I’m studying for a commission test , and I keep making simple mistakes for larger problems . Like 3•9 is 27 , but writing 3•9 is 24 or something when doing large number arithmetic , and missing answers because a number back in the beginning of equation was wrong .

Could get 87/100 and got 54/100 becouse Im a fucking idiot. Mixing minuses and pluses, geting the right answer and then using the wrong number and by some way my god geting 5x5=35... kill me. How can this happen to a 17y old.

[@chiefonii]

Ado422 m8 this happens to me too. Could’ve gotten at least 90/100 and ended up getting 58/100. I’m 17 too and it’s really pisstaking. But this vid helps, hang in there.

[@leviackerman5870]

I just did that on a maths test too lmao

[@Melon_melon_melon_melon]

Could’ve got 90+ but I got 84 cause I did the correct calculations but wrote down a different number, my working outs are also correct but wrote it in the wrong place and from all that and I as I wrote this down I realized it’s all because of time, when low on time I tend to rush through and speedrun so remember this and keep telling yourself this, it is better to get the answers correct but not completing the test then completing the test but gets it all wrong, with enough practice overtime you’ll be able to think faster and more accurate I hope my experience would help you too

[@cardiyansane1414]

thank you for addressing this but timing and making note of the mistakes is not solving the problem , it will just show how many mistakes one makes in a test/homework etcs

[@karenkatd]

got a 55 on my calc quiz purely because of stupid mistakes :')

[@AntiBoringLab]

I hope this helped you on the next one!

[@romanempire4751]

I lost many marks on silly things
