Abstract: Let $A$ be an $nimesn$ random matrix with iid entries over a finite field of order $q$. Suppose that the entries do not take values in any additive coset of the field with probability greater than $1-alpha$ for some fixed $0<alpha<1$. We show that the singularity probability converges to the uniform limit with an exponentially small error depending only on $alpha$. We also show that the distribution of the determinant of $A$ converges to its limiting distribution at an exponential rate.
