Careless Mistakes — Points You're Giving Away
Most students lose 50-100 points to careless errors, not lack of knowledge.
Top mistakes:
1. Misreading the question: "Which is NOT true?" — you pick a true answer
2. Sign errors: Distributing a negative incorrectly
3. Unit errors: Problem asks for minutes, you answer in hours
4. Solving for wrong variable: They ask for 2x, you find x
5. Forgetting to flip the inequality when dividing by negative
6. Reading the graph wrong: Mixing up x and y axes
Prevention:
Underline what the question asks BEFORE you start solving.
After solving, re-read the question. Did you answer what they asked?
The hardest part of the SAT isn't the hard questions. It's not giving away the easy ones.
