The review protocol
- Re-solve every wrong question without the clock.
- Classify each error: misread, missing knowledge, or time pressure.
- Count the categories. Repair the largest one first.
- Note every unfamiliar fact into your current affairs or legal notes.
- Record section timings and accuracy in a single tracker.
What to track over time
| Metric | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Section accuracy | Shows whether attempts are justified |
| Time per section | Reveals where the paper is lost |
| Unattempted count | Indicates pacing problems |
| Repeat error type | Points to the one habit to fix |
Simulating exam conditions
Same start time as the exam, no phone, no breaks, full duration, rough sheets only. A test taken in relaxed conditions measures knowledge but not performance.
The final month
Two tests a week, review the same day, and no new material. In the last week, take one short paper to stay sharp and revise only personal notes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many mock tests should I take before a law entrance exam?
Around twenty to thirty full tests with detailed review is more effective than sixty tests taken without analysis.
How should I review a mock test?
Spend at least as long reviewing as taking it, and classify every error as misreading, missing knowledge or time pressure.
When should full mocks begin?
Once you have covered the basics of each section, usually about three months before the exam.
Do falling mock scores mean anything?
Often they reflect harder papers or changed attempt strategy. Track accuracy and section timing rather than only the total.
