Mocks are data machines; the analytics decide the next study block.
Mock cadence
- One mock a week rising to two from September, three from October; 25-30 total before the exam.
- Alternate full mocks with sectional tests; DILR and VARC sectionals weekly.
Percentile maths
- 99 percentile needs roughly 45-50 of 66 scored marks depending on slot difficulty.
- A 95 percentile base sits near 35-40 marks; scaling shifts yearly — track ranks not raw scores.
The retake loop
- Retake each mock after 2 weeks; score delta shows concept retention vs memory effect.
- Error log columns: silly error, concept gap, selection error, time-abandon; attack the top column.
Revise in 30 seconds
- 25-30 mocks before exam day.
- 99th percentile: ~45-50 marks territory.
- Retake after two weeks; log error types.
- Selection errors doom more than concept gaps.
