Try a more deliberate round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.

A strike followed by 4 and 5 scores 19; a spare followed by 7 scores 17. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A mistake to avoid
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
