Taking tests before competitive exams is actually a skill; a skill that has to be developed to get the feel of the actual paper and the atmosphere. Test-taking, often known as Mock tests are the best way to gauge which questions to attempt and whether it is the right one. However, the selection and filtering may differ from person to person. Many students tend to take the test very lightly. However, when taken seriously, there is a lot to derive from the same which will make the actual test experience a lot better.
What can one gain from mock tests?
Firstly, they offer you the real atmosphere of the examination hall with students around you. It prepares you for the day when students would be even more conscious and stressed than during a mock test.Secondly, they give a real-look of the paper and repeated mock tests get you so acquainted with the entire idea and feel of test-taking that the actual paper doesn’t scare you when it comes. Thirdly, it helps you filter your strengths and your weakness helping you to decide the areas you should on concentrate more as far as studies are concerned and where to focus as far as questions and their markings are concerned. Fourthly, and the most importantly it helps one know where they stand as compared to the rest. That is the real cause and point of the test. Now as far as the skills of test-taking are concernedMBAupdates would like to give all aspiring students some pointers to gauge their skills.
Check the accuracy. You can do this by calculating the questions answered and marking the ones that have been answered correctly. This helps in knowing the questions you can answer in a set period of time. Always time yourself on the basis of the time you are going to get during your actual paper of MBA.
Always work out the unanswered questions. This not only helps you decipher why you could not get to the right but it also helps in learning it and deciding whether you can solve it. As far as the answered questions are concerned, solve them as well. It will help you revise the logic you have used while solving the mock test. Try and measure what is going wrong and if you are probably not getting answers right due to silly mistakes, or time constraints making your hurry into incorrect answers.
Test taking can also help you to sieve the unanswered questions and probably why they are left unanswered. Is it because you did not understanding the way the question was framed or because you have had conceptual errors in understanding the question? The skill to analyze the tests could lead to beneficial results thus upping your final score to help you score over the rest!
