Checking for errors after finishing before time
Hello all,
My DD is doing North London grammars. In Maths, she tends to finish the 50 question/ 50 minute papers in around 40-42 mins, so I have been asking her to check her work in the extra time. She does seem to be checking but still invariably has 4-5 silly mistakes in multiple choice and a few more in open format. I don’t think she is checking her work properly and is probably just skimming over/confirming the mistake she has made. Are there any techniques to check which can increase the effectiveness of any extra time she has?
Many thanks.
