Mock tests are crucial to crack the CAT exam. So, we decided to share with you some tips and tricks to improve mock tests scores.

Many CAT aspirants get confused or scared when it comes to mock tests. Only 20 to 30 percent of students appear for mock tests. The number is fewer compared to the actual number of students appearing for the CAT exam. And many applicants give up mock tests after 3/4 failed attempts.

Whatever your study strategy may be, if not reviewed from time-to-time, it will not help you for the actual CAT exam preparation. So, the thumb rule is to give as many mock tests as possible from the time you enroll for the CAT exam till a week before the CAT exam.

Important Facts About Mock Tests 

Listed below are the facts about mock tests that most aspirants do not know. Because they do not attempt mock tests, they reduce their chance of understanding how the actual CAT exam paper looks like.

Mock Tests Parameters to Measure Your Level of Difficulty

Mock tests are a great way to measure and work on your difficulty level. When analyzing your mock tests, consider these parameters to understand your level of interpreting mock test questions as easy, medium or hard.

Every mock test is designed differently from the other. So, when analyzing your mock tests, make sure you solve the wrong questions and also the ones that you left during the test for whatever reasons. There is no use to analyze your mock tests if you do not solve the problems in the first place. Make a note of topics that were easy to attempt and less time-consuming. List the difficult topics from each section. These are your weak areas and need extra attention and effort. Now decide a new test strategy before your next mock test. This will help further improve your mock scores.

Once you reckon the level of ease or difficulty according to each topic, you can ace up the preparations before the CAT exam.

Now that you realize the importance of mock tests for CAT preparations, let’s give you some tips and tricks to prepare for mock tests.

For the CAT aspirants, it is recommended to attempt mock tests on regular intervals and make efforts to improve your mock score. But keep in mind that your mock percentile is not a measure to the actual CAT percentile. The biggest reason is the vast difference between the number of people giving mocks and the ones appearing for CAT. Remember, the key to cracking CAT is practice, practice and more practice. So, focus on improving mock test scores than mock percentile.
