Checking Your Work Efficiently

Double-Check Like a Pro

Careless mistakes can cost valuable points! Once you finish a problem, take a few seconds to review your work.

  • Re-read the question to make sure you answered what was asked.
  • Quickly redo calculations for tough problems.
  • Check for unit conversions or sign errors.

Even a quick review can catch simple errors and help boost your score.

Examples

  • Noticing you plugged in the wrong value for a variable on a second look.

  • Catching a decimal place mistake before moving on.
