Study Notes

Mock tests are as important as previous year papers. Practicing mock test helps you in following ways,

1. make you aware of your mistakes (like the concept, calculation, etc).
2. make you aware of your strong points and weak points
3. you can self judge your potential

For JEE Main we have witnessed with maximum number of students, that after giving 10 mock tests their score reached decent 230-245 marks from 130 marks which were in the first attempt. It appears to be a miracle but there is a process behind it.

Let me ellaborate so you can understand it better,

1. Students write his first mock test, he scores around 130 marks.
2. He is average in studies, but he is consistent
3. In the first attempt, he spent 3 hours in attempting test and spend almost 3 hours in reviewing the test.
4. He analyzed every question.
5. For the wrong answer, he checked the solution and found out the mistakes. If required, he checked his concept.
6. For the unattempted answer, he checked the concept and solution and found out why he was not able to solve that question.
7. For the correct answer, he spent less time but reviewed to find an alternate method to solve it.
8. After this process, he starts to fill up the gap which was left during his preparation.

By attempting and reviewing the test, he found a way to approach to new questions, polish the concepts which was weak, re-strengthen the strong concepts.

Finally when he tried new mock test, his score was approximately 175 marks which is almost improvement of 35%.

So, with every test, he follows the same strategy and finally in the 9th mock test he touched a score of 243 marks. Now his job was to either increase the marks or keep this performance consistent. So, he gives 2 mock test every week which keeps him in touch with all concepts and boost his performance and confidence.

I hope this article will help you in JEE Main preparation.
