I'm repeatedly screwing up while transferring my choices to my answer sheet. It's driving me nuts. On my last practice test there were two questions where I had the right answer marked in the test book but the wrong answer on the answer sheet.
The first one I have no explanation for. I clearly circled E in the book but C on the answer sheet. The second one makes a little more sense because I changed the answer in the book but forgot to update the answer sheet.
I'm sitting here like an ass watching videos to figure out how I got these questions wrong only to realize I already had the correct answer. This could be a free 1-2 points on my test. Any advice on how to stop messing up?

I ALWAYS do 1 question at a time. That way I answer the question (on my answer sheet) before even looking at the new question.
I wish it was just more practice. This was my 15th preptest though. I do repeat the answer choices in my head, but the problem is that the letters B, C, D, and E all sound the same in my head. I've been transferring answers in groups. I finish two pages of the test (2 pages of LR or 1 game or 1 RC passage) and copy all of the answers. Should I fill in answers 1 question at a time?
Really I think it's just practice. I have little experience with these Scantron answer sheets as I major in philosophy so I don't get multiple choice exams, but I no longer screw up my input on my PT's. My first three PT's I made the same mistake as you but I no longer do it at all. When I find the right answer, B for example, I am saying "okay B" in my head as I run my finger to the correct spot on the answer sheet.
