Quick answer: Spend as long reviewing a mock as taking it. For every wrong answer and every lucky guess, record the question type, the reason for the error, and the one rule that would have prevented it. Re-read the error log before the next mock. Unreviewed mocks do not raise scores.

The error log format

Question type	Reason	Preventive rule
Legal reasoning	Applied real law, not the given principle	Underline the principle's conditions first
Comprehension	Misread a qualifier	Circle "only", "not", "except"
Current affairs	Did not know the event	Add to weekly revision list

The four error categories

Concept gap — go back to the topic.
Misreading — slow down on qualifiers.
Rushing — fix pacing, not knowledge.
Guessing — set a confidence threshold based on the paper's penalty.

What improvement looks like

Scores move unevenly. The reliable early sign of progress is that the same error category stops repeating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should mock review take?

About as long as the mock itself. A three-hour paper deserves roughly two to three hours of review.

What should I record for each mistake?

The question type, the reason for the error — concept, misreading, rushing or guessing — and the one rule that would have prevented it.

Should I review correct answers too?

Yes, especially the ones you guessed correctly. They are future mistakes waiting to happen.

How many mocks per week before the exam?

One to two in the middle phase, two to three in the final month, each fully reviewed. An unreviewed mock teaches almost nothing.
