Score improvement

I have started writing sectionals from the past one month and i have seen improvement in quants

Earlier i was very nervous with the sectional timelimit and all but because of afterboards unlimited sectionals i was able to improve it (tysm!) (Even Though i knew the answer i was afraid to mark it)

I had a doubt that when i wrote 1st sectional of quant i scored 8 and mcq 31 then my score went up and down (not less than 8 in mcq) highest are 28 in SA and 42 in MCQ

But then my scores dropped also which is fine

But is this due to the algorithm because i know that algorithm gives easy or medium level ques when you score high so i score high because there were easy ques and immediately i scored less in other mock because it gave more advanced ques and after 2-3 again my score increased

I was really concerned that am i actually improving?

I know that this is such a silly doubt But i am geniuenly concerned about it

I see that you attempted 4 sectionals today itself.

Don't over-attempt sectionals. Focus on learning every single wrong/unanswered question such that you will not repeat the same mistake again.
Please analyse such that you're solving everything properly again and you're learning all the auxilliary topics around the question!

In this question, we know that if Nobita and Doraemon work together, they take 20 days. So, how can either one of them take less than or equal to 20 days when working alone?

This is a very silly mistake which happens when we aren't conceptually sound or we're not paying attention to the question or we're just guessing randomly.

With the current SWOT, I would sincerely recommend learning and patching the knowledge gaps first.

Algebra is highly tested but you've not gotten a single question right in half of the topics. You have only 13 correct out of 50. Similar stuff in Modern Math.

Use this stat as motivation to jump and finish studying. Right now, out of the 25-30 topic tests, only 2 topics have crossed level-1.

Only 1 video of Minima and Maxima has been watched, out of the 8 questions shown, you attempted 5 and got all of them wrong. Don't get discouraged, use this as motivation to FIX these chapters:

When I see these stats, it also explains why questions like these have taken 63 seconds and has still been marked incorrectly:

We've talked about these exact type of questions in our video lectures (which haven't been watched I suppose):

I hope this feedback helps you redirect! Study more at the moment!

OP•8mos

Thank you so much bhaiya! I'll definitely take this as motivation

The main thing for which i started writing sectionals was to make myself comfortable with the environment of exams because earlier i used to score very less because of nervousness (even though i knew the ans)

And also i have not completed the topic tests and i am planning to do so

but from 16th my preboards are starting and as soon as they end(on 27th) 2nd preboards are there after 5days (31st to 10feb) and then boards (26feb to 17mar)

So i am very much confused as from where to start and when to start so can you please please help me

and also from which topics should i start like which ones to give more importance
