Be Careful
Did you work problems out on a separate piece of paper? Did you move too quickly or skip steps on problems you found easier?
Did you always double-check what the question was asking? Often students miss questions that they know how to do! Why? It’s
simple—they work out problems in their heads or don’t read carefully. Work out every SSAT math problem on the page. Consider it
a double-check because your handwritten notes confirm what you’ve worked out in your head.
