First thing that I look out for when I analyse any of my students mock is to check if he has given time to each and every question in the paper. This you can make out with the time allotted to each question.

Next thing I will check in the paper is have I wasted disproportionate amount of time on any question. If you have then find the reason why have you done so and how could you avoid it the next time

. Third step is to go through all the questions that a person has got wrong. Try to solve it without looking at the solution. Once you have tried, look at the solution. Try to find a better solution to the question.


Next step and an important step is to go through all the questions you have got correct and figure out if there is a better way of solving as compared to the way you have solved. Also look at the solution and see if they are offering a better method to solve.

I hope all above methods help you out.

See for Analysing the mock CAT go through whole solution & check all the questions whether they are correct, wrong or not answered.



In the correct questions check whether you got the answer through right approach or not. If it is not a right approach then there's no surity of getting right answer next time so you need to check this out. Also there might be an alternative way to do the same question which might take lesser time so you need to go through this also as it will save your time as you know this paper is a game of speed with accuracy. Make sure you note down all those things on a note book.



Now in the wrong answers check the solution and compare with your approach. There might be completely wrong approach or might be some silly mistake or half question done. Again note down these things.



Noting down these things will help you in attempting questions in correct way when you face any question of similar type which will help you increasing your accuracy & also save time as you will be able to attempt fast.



Now the questions which you have not attempted could be because of two reasons either you are not sure about answer or you didn't had any clue how to start solving it. So for this again compare how did you thought about the question when you tried to attempt it and how you should have approached it. Again note down all the points.



So this is one way of analysing the mock paper. One more thing you need to do is sorting the questions according to your strength and weakness.



By seeing the solutions you can come up with many strategies one of it is sorting out the questions in 3 parts easy, medium and difficult. For this you must need to know your strength and weakness in each part of the paper.



You need to sort out the questions which you are assured of getting correct and during mock test have found that 90% questions of these types or of specific topic or chapter were correct. So sort them as easy questions.

Same the questions with 50-90 % accuracy sort them as medium and rest as difficult questions.

You need to do this sorting after analysing atleast 5 mock papers.



Now the strategy should be to attempt all the easy questions of each part first which will help you in gaining marks, give you a confidence as you will be able to do a few questions in no time and you will also avoid silly mistakes in the questions which are mandatory to be correct.



Now in second round attempt medium type questions in which you require a little more time. As you have already attempted the easy part so you will have enough time to attempt these with a better accuracy.

And at least if time permits you can go for difficult questions or skip them, generally these are very less in numbers provided you have done a very good preparation and has a good command on basics.



This strategy will require a little effort as to figure out your own strength and weakness is not an easy task but will definitely help you in improving your speed, accuracy & percentile.
