Hi Bonnie,
Good for you for learning from this experience. That's invaluable.
I thought I'd throw in another tip: I always go back and do a final edit
after I've either rested or done something else for a little while (in a
test situation, might not be possible, obviously). Case it point: I was
asked to edit something from upper management mid-afternoon yesterday. I
finished at 5:30, but this morning I did a final check that turned up silly
things like two spaces after periods and inconsistant capitalization. I'd
been too tired to spot them earlier.
Good luck!
