I was in a similar situation when I was studying GMAT Math. The number one most common reason for careless errors is pacing yourself too quickly.

If you are going through your problems too quickly, there's a higher likelihood that you will misread the question or skip a critical detail.

The best way to solve this problem is to deliberately slow yourself down. If you are being mindful about timing yourself, think about adding five or 10 more seconds for each problem, and see whether this affects your results.

Best of luck!

Also, we all tend to make the same kinds of careless errors over and over. Keep a log of the types of careless errors you make. Whenever you spot a pattern, you can be aware and extra careful when you have to make that kind of calculation in future.

And don't forget - you're going to make some careless errors. That's just life! Try to minimize them, of course, but you'll never get rid of them completely.
