Advantages of Doing Mock Exams
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
