Importance of Doing Mock Exams
1. A better understanding about the exam
Giving
a mock test surely helps in understanding the exam better. A candidate who has
prepared for the exams can easily identify the important concepts, questions,
or lessons once they start appearing for the mock test. The candidates can
further work on the areas they feel needs improvement. Every year lakhs of
students or toppers tell their preparation strategies in interviews, giving
mock tests top their list. Hence, any candidate who needs a better
understanding of the exams and is willing to improve their performance should
definitely give mock tests.
2. Identifying topics that need attention
Doing
mocks early enough in the year gives you time before the real thing to target
areas that need improvement. Mock exam results can identify how best to spend
the coming months for students.
Once
these areas are identified, it is then a case of putting in the hours. It is
not enough to think about what you need to do better, it is the action and the
doing that really makes a difference.
Being
comfortable and confident enough to ask someone else for help, be it a teacher,
parent or carer, is a big
part of having a growth mindset. Mock exams can be used as a way of getting
students to feel comfortable receiving feedback, which paves the way for
further improvement and learning.
3. Helps in dealing with anxiety
Many
students do get anxious a few days before the actual exam day. They feel
underprepared or think they won’t be able to give their best in the exam. But
appearing for mock tests and scoring good results automatically calms them
down. The candidates feel less stressed and anxious. They tend to focus more on
preparing well rather than stressing about the results, etc. Being mentally
prepared and relaxed is very crucial for the candidates to perform well in the
exams.
4. Improving knowledge
Testing
yourself is an effective way to improve your knowledge and ability to recall
information. In a study
on mock exams (pdf), researchers found that students who did a practice
test after a period of revision did better on the final exam than those
students who didn’t do the mock exam and had just spent the whole time
revising.
Instead
of seeing an exam as a potentially threatening event or as some sort of
judgement on their ability, it would be great if we could help students to see
their mock exams as a handy way of improving their knowledge and memory.
Also,
if students have a particularly bad mock exam, better to have the shock in the
mock, than the final exam. It can act as a call to action that perhaps they
need to do more work, change revision strategies and develop skills needed to
perform under pressure.
5. Helps you track your progress
Appearing for a mock test helps a candidate in tracking their progress. For instance, a person gives one mock test and they find some questions difficult, they can work hard on learning more about the concept. And when they appear for the next mock test, they will actually see that whether they have improved or not. This will save them from making that mistake in the actual exam. Giving mock tests is the best way to track your progress and make improvements wherever required.
