Terrible concentration but good working memory?

[Geniusphysicist]

It seems as though when I am given tests to determine the strength of my working memory my scores are often very high; my digit span is about 10 without chunking and even on tests that require a good short term memory capacity I seem to do well in. But the problem I noticed is that when I doing my exams or tests I often make stupid mistakes like placing a subtract sign instead of addition sign or sometimes I read the wrong thing and answer a question which wasn't supposed to be answered I don't iif it may be that I rush and compared to my processing speed I might think significantly slower that I think I do because I do talk quite slowly. But I do know that I have bad habits like multitasking and such but if that's the case then how can I improve my concetration or at least make less stupid mistakes which aren't attributed to my skill level but rather some 'bug' in my brain?

I find that sometimes extroverting helps. Usually, my careless errors are simply because I have briefly split my attention or introverted.

Check your answers and questions. I often do the same thing in reverse engineering.

But for example if I am doing a task that requires speed checking over isn't always the optimum thing to do. If I play dual n back will it reduce ?
