- Misreading the requirement (stem)
- Failing to understand what is required
- Making a math error
- Applying the wrong rule or concept
- Being distracted by one or more of the answers
- Incorrectly eliminating answers from consideration
- Lacking any knowledge of the topic tested
- Employing bad intuition (Why?) when guessing
