Mock tests and their importance:
Competitive exams are relative exams where there is a dire need for you to perform well as compared to your peers. Therefore practice plays a vital role here and the more you practice, the more you enhance your exam taking skills and examination temperament.
Mock tests actually do the same for you. After taking your exam, one should analyse his / her performance critically to overcome weak areas. One should start taking the exams from the very beginning as first topic wise, then unit wise, then part syllabus and at last full syllabus. One should take full syllabus mock tests from the month of February onwards.
