When you get one wrong, keep your original working long enough to find the first step where it went wrong. Write a short correction that explains why that step fails, then close the solution and redo the question from scratch. Later, try a different question using the same idea; repeating the original can hide whether you've learned the reasoning or just remembered its answer. An error log can be very small: question, mistaken step, correction, and a date to try it again.

with the wrongly answered questions, usually what I'd do is try figuring out the topics that I need to know before solving that question and then see which one I didn't learn properly.
