This is how to analyse mocks ( Effectively)

Scan through each section

Divide them into right/ wrong/ unattemplted.

For QA / LR

For the right ones - check if an efficient method is available.

For the wrong and unaswered ones - again,

Questions can be divided in 2 buckets exhaustively

1. Knowledge Gap

2. Implementation Gap

Knowledge Gap- Is this the only ques from that topic that you were not able to crack , or there have been multiple instances of not being able to solve many questions from this topic?

If former is the reason - check solution , go to gpt, generate 10 questions on similiar lines and solve them. If latter is - revise the concept again.

Implementation Gap - Apply 5 why analysis , what's the sole reason of not being able to solve the question? - Calclation error, false assumption , wrong question inference etc. Figure it out and half the job is done. Make a log of these reasons, visit them timely to ensure you don't repeat them.

Some Tips : 1) Maintain a handwritten record of questions that you find hard/ that you know a very easy shortcut to and are of a specific format. ( i still remember making a record of one tsd question wherein runners exchanged speed mid way ).

2. Resolve doubts as they arise, most probably you'll never go back to that doubt again if you leave it for later.

3. Focus on not repeating same mistakes - Making errors ain't the issue, repeating the same ones is, as long as you keep making new mistakes - you'll be fine.

For VA

For the right ones - all good, nothing much that you can do. Still, check explanation once

For the wrong / unanswered

There can be many reasons in Va for same ( not as simple as QA/LR)

But still let's divide them into two categories broadly.

1. Knowledge Gap

2. Implementation Gap

Knowledge Gap - Never heard of the word/ idiom/ phrase/ rule etc. What do you do? - Nothing much at the moment - but start reading more, increase exposure to new words/ idioms/ phrases etc . How? I'll attach resources

For Grammar rules I have got a very amazing tip - I have learnt more english rules from aftb sectionals than from any yt video/ book.

For every sectional/ mock you write - Make a log , maintain a notebook wherein you jot down each and every new grammar rule you come accross. Revise this regularly - believe me your score will drastically improve.

Implementation Gap - 5 why analysis, figure out the reason - jot it down ( highly suggested).

Some tips : 1) Ensure you solve 2 Rcs in not more than 15 minutes ( 15 minutes for both) - see this as an upper limit.

2. Don't go on re-reading questions - this ain't gonna help in most of the cases - read once but carefully - saves time, stops you from overthinking.

This is it for now, i'll keep adding stuff to this as per the needs
