I'm about two weeks away from my exam and I've taken the mgmat CAT tests and recently took the two exams from GMATPrep this weekend. While I'm pretty pleased with my scores (760-780 range), I noticed that 90 - 100% of my mistakes on the quant section were careless mistakes where I forgot about an integer constraint, forgot about a positive / negative constraint or misinterpreted the problem in a slight way that led me to the wrong answer. Seems pretty silly to miss questions for these reasons.

1) Can one of the instructors provide any tips? (Timing obviously.. but feel like I'm pacing myself pretty well at 2 mins per question. Maybe I should tighten up on timing to give myself more time to thoroughly understand the question and note down constraints)

2) Is there a list of good "gotcha" questions where a side note or constraint is critical to the question? Want to study how the GMAT uses these to trick students. Thanks

Allen, this question is better suited to our General forum: general-gmat-strategy-questions-f9.html

Please repost there for assistance. Thanks!
