When you give mock, make sure you do indepth root analysis of mistakes you make and check whether yhe approach you make is coreect, whether there is another approach which saves time. Make sure you jot down all such mistakes to not repeat them again. You need to check which is area of weakness and why are you scoribg negative. Check how much time you devote on average. Then focus on those areas more, try to sokve multiple problems on your weak areas through different books like Arun Sharma, Nishit Sinha, TIME Coaching material. Give more mocks on it and eventually you'll optimize mistakes and achieve better accuracy ratio.
1. Start with easy questions and take your time to solve them. Concentrate on accuracy.
2. After getting comfortable, start reducing your time to solve the question.
3. Find the ideal comfort zone within which you can answer most of the questions without negotiating much on the accuracy. (Practice tests help here)
4. Now increase the level of question and repeat the steps 1 to 3.
This helps you not just with improving your accuracy and speed but will strengthen your basics, which in turn will increase your accuracy and speed. But remember that this will be a time taking effort. I hope this answer helps you.
This will help you in not only figuring out your mistakes but also help you in knowing your strength and weakness. With your strength and weakness you can develop a strategy of attempting your paper.
Like you can first attempt only those questions which are your strong part this will not only fetch you marks but also increase your accuracy because in starting you won't have pressure of time and won't commit silly mistake in your strong part.
Then you should attempt the medium difficult part for you in which you require a little more time. As you have already attempt a part of paper in very short time so you will have more confidence and TIME time to go through this part. This will again increase your accuracy. And if time permits you can attempt difficult part or else skip it.
You can try this strategy and see improvement in you score or else you can come up with your own strategy but yeah analysing your mock test is very important.
Think and attempt.
All the best!
Moreover the more mock tests you give the more familiar you will be with typical questions and it will help you increase your speed. Give online tests which are given by a large number of people so that you get a good idea of where you stand.
You also need to analyse each of your mock tests Sk that you get to know and derive observations from the tests.
