Careless Errors

by chris6 » Wed Nov 04, 2009 2:24 pm
I have noticed that I make a lot of careless errors in problem solving. This is causing me to get many easy answers wrong. Does anyone have any recommendations to correct this?

The main reason for making careless errors is either being pressed by time or not focusing enough. I say you:
- slow down a bit, but not too much; however, give yourself appropriate time to do the problem
- read carefully - you should know that the GMAT is designed to test your attention. This should put you en garde and you should be ready for tricks
