    • It will be easier for students to manage their time if they create a schedule for their academic pursuits.
    • These pupils will study for the exam, but they also need to understand the fundamental ideas. Students must begin focusing on the challenging areas in which they lack confidence.
    • No matter how frequently they are attempted, if a student's fundamentals are incorrect, they will perform poorly on the mock papers.
    • To evaluate their performance in the test, candidates should also be required to complete the previous year's question paper.
    • The mock test is a crucial component of the preparation process since it allows the students to assess their strengths and weaknesses.
