When they are in class at the beginning, the teacher is talking about imaginary numbers and says that i multiplied by i equals 1, but i multiplied by i actually equals -1. [The math teacher in fact says "then i squared equals negative one".]
Edit
When Evan is outside the party, he receives a call from Becca and complains about his cell phone service and no bars. Yet when he receives the call, his cellphone shows that he has full bars. [Even with full bars, it's still possible to have bad reception.]
Edit
During the credits we see the penis drawings that Seth made as a child. In the pic of the train-penis being driven by a conductor, the words above say Choo-Coho instead of Choo-Choo. [So an eight-year-old Seth made a grammatical error. That sort of spelling mistake happens all the time, with people of all ages. Makes the drawing more authentic looking, really.]

When Evan is at the party (which the guy who hit Seth with his car took them to), Evan and Becka are calling each other trying to arrange their alcohol situation. Evan's phone cuts out, so he goes in the house to call Becka from the house phone. When Becka receives the phone call, she checks the caller ID and says, "Its Evan." But the caller ID would show the name of the homeowner - the person that is on the house phone bill. She would not know who is calling her. [Since they were just recently disconnected, she could rightly assume that an incoming call from an unknown number would be him calling from a different phone line.]
Edit
When Seth is talking to Jewles about the booze, Seth keeps pushing his bag up towards his arm. But he does it once when the camera is facing him and does the same thing when the camera is facing Jewles towards the end of the talk. [That statement is completely true, although there's no mistake at all. He adjusts it frequently. Just because he "did it again" doesn't make it a mistake.]
Edit
In the scene where young Becka picks up the picture of the penis, her nails are painted red, but when it shows the picture, the hands holding it have unpolished nails. [Having just watched the scene in question, they are polished in all of the shots.]
Edit
When Seth finally brings the alcohol to the party, a guy with glasses and a plaid shirt is seen behind him following him. In the next scene, when Evan is talking to Becca, the same guy can be seen on the gazebo with them. [There is enough time that he is off screen (when Evan is talking to Gabby) for him to make his way over there by the time Even gets there.]
Edit Time
In the scene where Seth gets his car towed from the school, watch Fogel as the three of them walk into the parking lot. Right as Fogel says, "I mean, why would you park in the staff?" he looks at the ground to where he is supposed to stand. [Can you please explain how this is a mistake? Is there tape, or something to tell where to stand? Looking down doesn't constitute a character or any other type of mistake.]

In the very first scene, Seth, on his cell phone, explains to Evan the porn site "Vagtastic Voyage" as if Evan had never heard of it. But later that day, when Evan tells Becca of the guys' previous Saturday night, the flashback shows them watching that very porn site. [Evan's exact words were "Which site was that?" Its possible that Evan didn't remember looking at that specific site, and its also possible that they viewed multiple sites that night and he couldn't remember exactly which one was the Vagtastic Voyage.]
Edit
In the scene where Seth is talking to Jewels in Home Ec class about going to parties, he's sprinkling something on the dessert, and puts the container down, but in the next shot, he's sprinkling it on the dessert again. [Seth's hand never comes off of the container. So he really never puts the container down. He just pauses while he is sprinkling to listen to Jewels, then he continues sprinkling.]
Edit
When Fogel is in the cop car with the two cops the first time, they get a call about a disturbance at a bar and they respond as "car 94" but some following scenes later, they are called to another disturbance as "car 98" [When Slater and Michaels get the call about the bar disturbance, Slater replies "Car 98 on it", and later as car 98 as well. Never once are they referred to as car 94.]
Edit
Evan tells Seth in the cafeteria, "I have to go meet my counselor to pick my classes for next year." Seth is a senior going to Dartmouth next year. You don't go to a high school counselor to pick classes (or even make recommendations) for your freshman year at college. [He didn't say the high school counselor, he said his counselor. Many colleges send reps to high schools to help students with the enrollment process. Evan is talking about the representative from the college he plans to attend.]
Edit Corrected by Phixius
Evan states that he and Seth have been best friends since they were 8 years old (which is approximately second grade). Seth later explains why he doesn't like Becca - we see the flashback to fourth grade in which Seth's picture of "genitalia" was seen by Becca, sending Seth the principal's office, Seth into counseling, etc. If they were already best friends, how could Evan not known of this big event in Seth's life, which was made public by Seth's trip to the office? [Kids get sent to the principal's office all the time. Given the nature of this event I really doubt the details were divulged to the other fourth grade students. It's not likely Seth talked about it before now, given how uncomfortable he is while telling Evan about years later.]
Edit Corrected by Phixius
In the scene where Seth and Evan are waiting outside the liquor store, next to the keymaking drive-thru, Seth gets hit by the car that is backing up, in a DRIVE-THRU. The car should have been going forward. [That's rather the point, isn't it. The car's SUPPOSED to be going forwards, but some idiot (and somebody being an idiot is not a mistake) has backed up and caused the accident.]
Edit Corrected by Tailkinker
During the flashback scene in which Becca is shown picking up the paper the Seth has drawn "genitalia" on, the paper momentarily folds over on itself revealing a blank backside with no writing or drawing on it. [The page isn't blank, you can see the outlines of the drawing.]
Edit Corrected by Mortug
During the kitchen tackle scene, McLovin is shown wearing a watch. However, in several shots during this scene his left sleeve is pushed up to where the watch should be, revealing a bare wrist. [You can still see the watch under the sleeve.]

A windshield in a car is held in by a heavy and very strong adhesive. To remove a windshield requires cutting the adhesive and wouldn't be possible by simply kicking it out like done to the police car. [It depends on how old the adhesive is, whether it cured properly, and whether the windshield was properly seated in the adhesive. I have kicked out a windshield after an accident, and I have had a windshield pop out when I hit a pothole.]
