One of the most important ways of preparing for the CET exam is to write a lot of mocks. Writing mocks for the CET exam is important for a number of reasons:
- CET is a speed based test, and being familiar with the question types that come in the mocks helps you to be faster.
- With 200 questions and 150 minutes, the strategy to write the paper is different for different students. So many mocks should be written to be able to understand what is the best strategy for you this will come about with experimenting the way you write the mock.
- Mocks also help you to plan for the strong and weak areas. So you can identify which questions to be solved, which to be left and which you should practice more to improve your score.
- 150 minutes is a long time in a speed based test and writing mocks helps one to build stamina to write the mock and be able to concentrate for 150 minutes.
But just writing mocks may not help. There are some dos and donts before you write a mock.
Before mock:
- Plan a strategy for the mock. This is done by deciding which are the type of questions you will solve first and which you will solve later.
- Plan the time. How much time will you devote to each type of questions.
- Try and ensure you are able to write the test for 2.5 hours at one go.
After Mock:
- Solve all the questions you did not attempt. See if any of those were simple and you should have attempted it during the exam.
- Go though all the questions that you have gone wrong. Identify why did you commit those mistakes. Was it silly mistakes or was it conceptual error. for conceptual error, try to go through those concepts. For silly mistakes identify what type of silly mistakes you commit and try to e careful the next time.
- Go through all the questions that you have solved correctly and see if you could have solved it in a better way and saved time.
- Check whether the strategy that was planned was a success or not. If not then where did the strategy go wrong.
- How can the strategy be changed for the next mock so that you could increase your scores. try to experiment to understand what works and what does not work for you.
- Classify the various type of questions into 4 parts based on accuracy and time :
Type 1: Less time and High accuracy
Type 2: Less time and Low accuracy
Type 3: More time and High accuracy
Type 4: More time and Low accuracy
While preparing, try to focus on type 2 and type 3 questions initially and see if you can increase the accuracy in type 2 questions and reduce the time in type 3 questions.
- Mark the questions you feel were different and you would want to do it again at a later date.
- Make a write up about the mock in terms of what went right, what went wrong, what are your learning and what should you change regarding your preparation and strategy. Yo can go thrugh this write up close to the exam and revise your learning.
