Mocks are the single most useful revision tool you have — and the easiest to misuse. Here's the cadence we recommend.
Weeks 1–2: don't take any
Mocks are a test of consolidation, not a learning tool. Use the first two weeks to cover the syllabus, then start mocking.
Week 3: two mocks, with full review
Take a mock under exam conditions. Then spend 30 minutes reviewing every wrong answer — not the right ones. Repeat once more that week.
Week 4: three mocks, no more
Three mocks in the final week is enough. Any more and you'll start memorising answer positions instead of concepts. Reviewing wrong answers is still mandatory.
On the day before — one mock, that's it
If you score 45+/50 the day before, you will pass. If you don't, one more mock won't fix it — sleep will.
Always under exam conditions: timer, no notes.
Always review every wrong answer.
Never repeat the same mock — variety beats familiarity.
