D.C. Metropolitan Area Testimonials Our Tutors Contact Us The Myth of the Careless Error By Jed Appelrouth, PhD careless mistakes meaning on March 23, 2011 in Education, Jed Said, Test Prep Having studied student error patterns on standardized tests for a decade, it has become increasingly apparent that careless errors on https://www.amazon.com/Eliminating-Careless-Error-Math-Grades/dp/0976478404 the SAT/ACT are typically not as “careless” as they seem. In fact, clear patterns emerge when you sit down to study students grappling with inherent “carelessness.” In a recent tutoring session, one of my students was shocked to see that the exact same "careless" errors she made at home she repeated with great consistency in our session. In one geometry problem https://www.applerouth.com/blog/2011/03/23/the-myth-of-the-careless-error/ she "carelessly" solved for the diameter rather than the radius of a circle, both at home and in the tutoring office. In another problem dealing with the coordinate plane, she "carelessly" flipped the X for the Y value of a point, both at home and again in our session. Later she mistakenly solved for the 7th rather the 8th value in a sequence problem, at home and in session. All in all, my student repeated the exact same “careless” errors on five distinct problems on a single practice test, leading to a loss of 60 points on the SAT. My student was stunned to discover something that many tenured tutors know: at the core, most careless errors are not random. There is no internal dice that rolls, leading to a random moment of carelessness, at least, not for the majority of students. Typically these errors are systematic errors or “processing” errors: the same mental processes which lead to "careless" errors at home remain active in our sessions. The gaps in my student’s process were fairly consistent. Only through repea

He points out that even as we demand excellence in our work, we still have to manage ringing phones, stuffed email inboxes, and competing priorities at the office. To avoid those simple errors, he proposes taking an hour to sit and reflect specifically on the things that didn't go well, and jot down those sloppy errors you know you wouldn't make if you had a second chance. We've discussed how keeping a work diary can help with this process.
