I keep messing up my college exams!!!

I am in calculus 2.

I do all the homework.

I know how to do every question.

But now for the past three exams I have gotten at least one question wrong. Why? I bubble an answer wrong or do a similar mistake.

The tests are so easy...I want to get an A! I know all the material. I really feel I deserve an A when I know the material. I just keep making really stupid mistakes. It stinks. If I just did not make stupid mistakes I would be exempt from the final right now.

How can I improve?

Can't tell if serious?

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat, that's a fact.
 

Ya having multiple choice on a calc exam in college is pretty inexcusable, especially for how much you are probably paying in tuition.

My exam prep generally consists of a good meal, a cup of coffee, and listening to music that kind of gets me pumped up on the walk to the classroom. Also I feel like studying the last hour or so before an exam stresses me out more rather than helps me on the exams.
