How Many Mocks Should You Take Before CAT?

How many mocks is enough?

A useful range is 20-30 full mocks across your prep - quality over quantity.

Why mocks matter

They build stamina (two hours of focus), section strategy (what to attempt, what to skip), and temperament (handling a bad section without spiralling).

A sensible cadence

• Early prep: one mock every 2 weeks
• Mid prep: one a week
• Final 6-8 weeks: 1-2 a week, tapering in the last ten days

Bottom line: 20-30 well-analysed mocks beat 60 rushed ones. The review is where the marks are.
