I agree with david. It's not that hard to finish exam early.

I finished my 2 unit very early and little bit early for 3 unit, leaving me some time to check...

but to be honest, "stupid mistakes" just happen...

it's not _that_ hard to finish ~10/20 minutes early and check in maths

for chem and phys, it's pretty easy to finish heaps early
Lol true, but in Maths in JR it's very hard to do the whole paper again in 3U, in 2U though, you probably could.

Some stupid mistakes are unavoidable...I think it's called being human.

However we can reduce the mistakes we make by;
Practicing in test conditions, by getting faster we are more likely to have time to check the harder questions. Also, if you have three minutues left to do 2 questions than you are obvs gonna make silly mistakes cause you are rushed.
Being well rested and well fed before test
