I've since realized that most of my mistakes in the quantitative section are all careless mistakes!!! I figured that if I just take more time and answer the questions slowly, I will lower my chances of making careless mistakes, but when I do this, I take too much time.
Does anyone have any good tips to help me with this issue I'm having?
Thanks!

This is a common complaint. My advice for the quantitative section is:
1. read the question (at a comfortable speed)
2. solve the question
3. re-read the question (to ensure that you answered the correct question)
4. review your solution
5. enter your answer

It would seem that the extra steps (#2 and #3) will waste too much time, these steps shouldn't take much time. Plus, if you're having a lot of problems with careless mistakes, the extra time spent should be worth it.

Cheers,
