Mock test strategy

How to analyse a mock test without wasting another hour

Your score tells you what happened. Review should tell you what to change.

Start with errors, not the score

Separate your mistakes into concept gaps, calculation errors, reading errors and time-pressure decisions. The category matters because each type needs a different fix.

Use a three-pass review

Pass one: incorrect questions. Pass two: correct questions that took too long. Pass three: unattempted questions that were realistically solvable.

Create one improvement action

Do not turn every review into a giant new timetable. Pick the one pattern causing the most lost marks and address that first.
