Tips to improve CAT mock test score

Analyze the question paper first

Before your dive into the attempting mocks, it is advisable that you analyze the few past year question papers and thoroughly compare them with your mock test. This will not only build your familiarity with the pattern but also help you strengthen the weak areas.

Attempt mock without preparation

After analyzing it, it's time to move one step further and give the mock test without any practice or preparation. This process helps you to understand your current level of knowledge. After doing this, you will find your area of strengths and weaknesses. The real-time check and experience you got from this activity are matchless. This first mock test without any preparation gives you an idea of what the actual exam paper holds and how many attempts you will take to counter this.

Analyze Again 

Now give two rich quality hours to the analysis of your performance in the mock test. Find your mistakes, analyze them and prepare an improvisation plan for them. Most of the time, it happens that the mistakes made by the candidates are small and can be quickly addressed. Inspect whether your errors are conceptual, time-consuming, or guessing-based. When you find the actual reason behind your mistakes, you can also fix them quickly. 

Focus on Approach 

Identify the approach you followed in the whole course of mock. Which thing works best for you while answering the correct answers, and where do you lack with your wrong answers. Now focus more on the wrong answers because it's the accuracy that will sail you through the entire exam journey. Also, the questions you left unattempted require the same procedure as the wrong answers. Try solving them using distant approaches and methods to bring down your accuracy score minimum. 

Time Management

A number of times, we got stuck on some question and didn't leave it unless we completed it. This approach is risky not only because it consumes excess time but builds unnecessary pressure on you. And in a hurry, we forget to complete the exam in the given time. Protect yourself from such daring and move on with the following question if you didn't get a clue for more than 2 minutes. 

Practice is Everything 

Practise, Practise, and Practise. This is the key mantra for you to excel in the examination. Practice if you find yourself in a dilemma, Practice if you are stuck at any point, Practice if you don't have a mentor. Revision and practice will be the best companion in your whole preparation journey. You can also enroll yourself with reliable online CAT coaching to get high-quality mocks and analyses.
