How can I stop making silly mistakes? (1 Viewer)

[Drongoski]

I am losing so many marks due to silly mistakes. I lost rank 1 in mx2 because of some silly mistakes.
How can I reduce them? Is doing past papers in exam conditions a good way to practice not making silly mistakes?

Really, no one can offer any meaningful advice without knowing the true nature of your silly mistakes. My suspicion is, in many cases, so-called silly mistakes are symptoms of something more basic - e.g. wobbly basic algebra (e.g. not having mastered even yr 9 & 10 algebra), etc. I am not suggesting this to be your case.
