You must practice and solve as many questions as you can on a daily basis.
List down the questions/ topics which were difficult and start working on them.
The motive of mock test should be to analyze and improve your performance with each test.
If your concepts are not clear, then you should discuss it with their friends or teachers in advance.
Remember that there is a negative marking, so guessing an answer won’t help. Furthermore, it can decrease your chances of qualifying the test.
Before you start to solve question paper, it is advised to write down the important formulas on the rough sheets.
Do not stress yourself by studying all day long. Take short breaks in between to give your mind some rest.
