Mock tests: how to analyse them so your score improves
Taking mocks is easy. Analysing them is where marks come from. A simple routine for every test you take.

Key takeaways
- Spend as long analysing a mock as taking it
- Sort mistakes by cause, not by subject
- Retake the questions you got wrong after a week
Students who improve fastest are not the ones who take the most mocks, but the ones who learn the most from each one.
Right after the test
Note which sections felt slow and which questions you guessed. Your memory of the test fades quickly, so do this first.
Sort every mistake
Group mistakes by cause and fix the biggest group first.
- Did not know the concept
- Knew it but slipped
- Ran out of time
- Misread the question
Close the loop
Revise the concepts behind each mistake and retake those questions a week later. If you get them right, the gap is closed.
