Honestly, do not jump into mocks without fully mastering the basics. Take a step back, go through NCERT-level stuff for Quant and revise grammar and vocabulary. Mocks help only when your base is strong. Try alternating between learning and testing to get the best results.

I realized that I need to train my brain under timed conditions more often. So now I do 15–30 minute timed drills every day. It has helped me stay calm and make quicker decisions. I highly recommend it.

Hey I was in the same boat. Trust me, analysis is everything. Like, after one mock, I spent 2 hours just understanding why I got certain things wrong and it opened my eyes. 

I suggest doing multiple sectional tests to improve speed and accuracy. Also, attempting your strongest section first helps a lot.

Same here. What I have started doing recently is maintaining an error log. After each mock, I jot down the type of questions I got wrong and why I got them wrong, whether it was a silly mistake, conceptual error, or just lack of time. That’s been helping me notice patterns. Also, review the mocks more than once.
