Eh, today I took the "practice" math SAT and I think I'm going to get 770 out of 800 (one of the problems I'm not sure if I did get it wrong or not, but I just realized I made a mistake on another).
I don't really have much problem doing the math and understanding word problems, but I find myself making a LOT of mistakes. Usually, on a test I rarely ever make arithmetic mistakes, but there are some cases where I forget to change inches to feet, finding an answer to something else, or leaving out an important factor. Rare cases include arithmetic mistakes (as I have mentioned before), assuming a number must be an integer (this happened for this test. FIRST TIME!), algebraic mistakes.
Is there a way to notice these mistakes?
This time I managed to so luckily find a mistake on a problem where I forgot to add on the missing minute I took away, but this is probably the 2nd time of my life I found a mistake.
How can I avoid these mistakes?
Never got 800 on these tests before!!!
