How do I analyse a mock test properly for SBI Clerk?

A mock without analysis is just a score. The score tells you where you are; the analysis tells you what to fix. Plan 60-90 minutes of analysis for every full Prelims mock.

Step 1: sort every question into four groups

Step 2: label each wrong answer

• Concept: you did not know the method. Study the topic again.
• Calculation: right method, wrong arithmetic. Add drills.
• Reading: misread the question or a unit. Slow down on reading.
• Guess: you were not sure. Reconsider your guessing rule.

Step 3: check time per section

Look for questions where you spent over 90 seconds. One stuck puzzle can cost five easy questions. Write down where the time went.

Step 4: write a three-line summary

1. Topic that cost the most marks
2. Second topic
3. One habit to change in the next mock (for example "leave puzzle after 2 minutes")

Step 5: act before the next mock

Practise those two topics for one or two days, and redo every wrong question within 48 hours. Then take the next mock.

A sample summary

"Mock 7: lost about 5 marks on one DI set (misread units, values were in thousands) and 3 marks in syllogism (possibility cases). Spent 7 minutes on a floor puzzle I did not finish. Next mock: read units first, leave any puzzle after 2 minutes without progress." A note like this takes two minutes and makes the next mock better.
