The only way you can deal with common mistakes is with lots of practice before hand. If you develop a sense of familiarity during the main exam, you will only have to focus on the questions before you instead of any other behavorial trait leading to mistakes. Follow some points. It is important that you practice lot of mocks and papers before the main exam. This will give you confidence and sense of familiarity during the paper. Practicing will also give you the mistakes that you keep committing every now and then. Commit as many mistakes as you can in first few mocks. More you practice, sooner will you run out of common mistakes to commit. Dont stress out. If you feel the paper is way too tough or way too easy for what youve practiced, dont worry about it. The general trend will be the same and so your score will be normalised accordingly. Just keep attempting as many as you can. If you keep this in mind while taking the exam, you won't stress out and hence you won't commit silly mistakes. Good luck!

Below are the few tips to avoid mistakes in CMAT: A- Be punctual: It is very much necessary to be on time at the test venue to avoid any sort of panic. Be cool and keep confidence while appearing. B- Last minute preparation: To give your best. Do not learn new tricks at the very last moment. This increases chances of confusion especially in case of mathematics problems. C- Don't get stuck: If you feel the problem is taking time, then leave and move to next. There is no point in wasting time in something which you don't know or which is taking time. Its better to attempt 2 simpler questions than to crack a difficult one. D- Enter with open mind: Our suggestion is not to get biased or limit yourself in attempting the number of questions. You may or may not attempt all the questions in all the sections, given the time constraint or for fear of getting penalty for wrong answer. Good Luck!
