you work on those topics doing extra practice of the same. That’s how you identify your weak spots.
Follow the same procedure as discussed in the previous point, to find your strengths.
Remember that on the exam day, you need to play on your strength. Make sure you hit the ball out of the park whenever the ball is in your arc.
And with every passing mock, you will gain confidence and eventually, if you keep going, YOU WILL MAKE IT TO THE FINAL LIST OF SELECTED CANDIDATES

How well you are going to perform in a particular test would not depend on how many mocks you’ve given but on how many mocks you have analysed well.
I really want to discuss something that is very very important to enhance our performance tremendously on the exam day.
Art of Eliminating the External Circumstances : Imagine, if you are having an important exam today morning and you haven’t had a good sleep last night. What would you think at this time? What your mind tell you? Almost everyone would agree that our mind would generate some doubtful thoughts that would this less sleep affect my mind and my less charged mind would definitely affect my performance in the exam. And, you will start getting more anxious and that anxiety will really hamper your performance.
But was that your less sleep that hampered your performance or the anxiety that your mind generated depending on the external circumstances of not getting a proper sleep? And you know the answer now.
What should we do to eliminate these external circumstances like what if I feel sleepy during an afternoon shift or an evening shift, what if I just have a couple of sheets available with me, what if anything that triggers from outside and then eventually inside?
So, what did I do for eliminating these from the equation?
I gave mocks in different hours of the day and in different circumstances. I have done this exercise over and over again so that my body gets accustomed to all the things and unwanted situations which may arrive during my exam. By doing this, I have clearly instructed my mind to not give me any excuses on the exam day. One day I gave mock in morning hours even at 5 am I have given a few mocks while other days I gave mocks in afternoon and evening and sometimes, yes, even at night 11pm. Apart from this, do give mock when you feel sleepy or even when you’re all tired. I remember whenever I use to come back from a journey of around 12 hours, I use to straightaway hit my mock because I wanted to know how my body behaves if it is all tired.
So, this is my advice to all, that do mocks not only in one situation or time but do experiments with your mock timings and get your body ready for the exam day. Your performance will surely be enhanced.


Now, let’s move towards how to attempt and analyse a mock.
Before you give a mock, around half an hour before it, make sure you tell your mind how you are going to attempt it, what strategy are you going to apply and how many marks roughly are you expecting from yourself. You don’t get directly jump into the battlefield but you plan everything in well advance.
Implement your strategy in the mock. Be fearless while attempting a mock so that you can apply your strategy effectively.
There will come some pauses in your mind while attempting a mock but that’s when you need to know that it is the time to bounce back and it’s not the end until the reverse clock at the top right corner actually hits 00:00 .
And important thing is that you learn the art of leaving a question.
You see the marks but don’t you dare to get bogged down or overwhelmed with your low or high marks respectively. Mocks are never meant to judge yourself or doubt your abilities but to plan, experiment, and solidify your strategy for the exam day. Mocks are to identify which are the loopholes which if I fill, can help me in getting that edge.
Then, move towards every section’s wrong answers that you’ve given, and ask yourself why I gave the wrong answer? Was it because of some silly mistake, some unknown concept or was it just a guess work. Avoid any guess work until you eliminate 3 out of the 5 options. And, then do solve all the unattempted questions and finally look at the correct answers you’ve given and in this case keep an eye on the time you invested in marking every correct answer. If it is more than required again ask yourself why and rectify it.
Keep a track of the concepts that were used in the unattempted and the incorrect answers.
You pick the last 3–4 mocks, and find if there are a few topics which you are continuously doing wrong and then
