Importance of mock test

To save valuable time in the real exam it becomes very important to feel the same exam-like situation in which we have to solve the limited questions in limited time (that time depends on our practice).

It makes one aware of one’s strengths and weaknesses, the time one takes to solve the questions, and makes one committed. One can easily document the mistakes and abstain from repeating them. It also helps to keep track of our performance and improve day by day.
