How to Analyse a CAT Mock the Right Way

How to Analyse a CAT Mock the Right Way

The mock you do not analyse is wasted

A simple analysis routine

  1. Bucket every question: correct, wrong, skipped, and "right but unsure."
  2. For each wrong/skipped: concept gap, silly error, time issue, or bad selection?
  3. Tally the reasons - patterns appear fast.
  4. Re-attempt skipped doable questions untimed.

Track over time

Log percentile, section accuracy, and your top loophole each mock. Fix one loophole at a time.

Bottom line: spend twice as long reviewing as taking. Your next 5 percentile points are in your last five mocks.
