The principle: study is input, mocks are feedback
Reading notes tells you what you’ve seen. A mock test tells you what you can actually do under time pressure — the only thing the exam measures. Every good plan alternates focused study with regular, full-length practice, then uses the results to decide what to study next.
The 90-day plan (adapt down to 60 or 30)
- Days 1–30 — Build coverage. Cover the full syllabus once, subject by subject. Take one full mock at the very start (cold, for a baseline) and one at the end of the month.
- Days 31–60 — Fix weaknesses. Two full mocks a week. After each, spend the next two days drilling only your two lowest-scoring topics. This is where scores climb fastest.
- Days 61–90 — Exam simulation. Three mocks a week at the exact exam time of day, on the real interface, full length. Refine pacing, guessing strategy and stamina.
60-day version: compress the coverage phase to 20 days. 30-day version: 10 days coverage, then mocks + targeted drilling every other day. The structure never changes — only the durations.
How to use mock analytics
- After every mock, look at accuracy by topic, not just the total. Chase the two weakest.
- Track time per section — running out of time is usually a bigger score leak than not knowing content.
- Keep an error log. Re-attempt the same mistakes a week later to confirm they’re fixed.
