Hi!
I’m a physics undergrad and one of my first term courses is applied linear algebra. I knew exactly what to study for this midterm, so I practiced it over and over again until I was sure I was comfortable with it- went into the test and the exact same type of questions I studied and practiced were on it, so I didn’t end up leaving anything blank, however, after the midterm I found out where I made some calculation errors :(. Those errors are really going to hurt my mark since this test was only out of 4 questions. I double checked what ever I had time to double check, but it wasn’t very thorough. I’m not sure what else I can do to stop making stupid mistakes.
This always happens, it always kills my mark even though I know everything that’s on the test.
Happens with some other courses too. It’s starting to get frustrating just losing marks for dumb errors, I don’t know what I can do to fix this :/
Any advice? (I do get anxious on tests btw, but not as much as the people who were sitting beside me- the person on my left was hyperventilating, which made me a litttttle tad bit nervous)
