Here are two that I did in my Economics exam:

20 x 300 = 600
5 x 50 = 225

don't ask.

In an assessment task, I managed to simplify a question right down in algebra and then get the following answer

2+2=8

Is any1 able 2 top that?
My mistake was 11 + 5 = 26

A few of those mistakes, costed me 8% of my 3U half yearly... and I've never had these issues in year 7-10. Why now?! :(

i can top this..... in year 8 i wondered why i did the whole exam with about half the time remaining, and then when i got the test back i realised the pages were double sided! i got 43% which i was proud of since i attempted half the marks...... better to make the minstake then than now i guess.

I managed 1 - (-1) = 0, which majorly screwed up the complex numbers question that relied on the result. Dead careless mistake on my part.

In my 2008 CSSA Mathematics Trial paper, I stupidly didn't divide the area by two. I ended up getting 119 because of that stupid mistake... :(
