Q: How can candidates use Mock tests better? What is your advice?
A lot of people procrastinate and run away from taking Mock Tests, which is the single most important element during the Preparation Process. Take as many Mock Tests as possible as regularly as possible; not only will it ensure that you’re up to date on your concepts, but it will build the habit of solving within you and really help you with your time management. Taking mock tests would also tell you the ideal sequence in which you should solve the exam. You can try out different combinations and figure out which works for you. For me personally, English, LR/DI, Quant was the magic sequence.
