How To Make Mock Diary for CLAT?
Before we tell you how to analyse CLAT mock test, you should know how to make a ‘Mock Diary’. Making a mock diary is a must for you.

After you make this table in your mock diary, start feeding your marks accordingly for each mocks. Once you start making a table and inserting your score marks, you will realise after 10 mocks that your number of attempted questions has increased, mistakes have reduced and you will notice an improvement in your overall performance.
First thing first, start attempting questions. The more you attempt mocks, you will improve gradually. When your number of attempted questions increases, your score marks will also increase.
So, a mock diary is a MUST for you.

6. Identifying Weak and Strong Areas
When you analyse mocks from the above table, you need to identify your strong and weak areas. Then, make a list of what you need to revise and research new concepts. This will serve as a target for your next 2-3 days.
7. Identify Section and Subsection Weak Area
When you analyse mock from the table, try to identify your weak areas in each section and sub-section areas. Identify your marks in each subject and in which type of questions of each subject you are attempting and answering incorrectly.
Apart from sectional wise analysis, you can also look through your area-wise analysis. Then make a comparison of mock tests to know your strong and weak areas.
8. Make a Strategy for Next Mock
After analysing, make a mock test strategy for the next mock you are appearing. Always start with your strong area or the section which you find easy attempting. Make a strategy for what kind of questions you will first attempt, how much time you will allot for each question or which question you will attempt first if you have time in hand.
9. Write Target Score
Lastly, write a target score above each subject. Try to achieve your target score by identifying your weak areas.
Wrapping Up:
All in all, mock is a game of analysing easy and moderate sections. It will help you to identify which sections you need to focus on and revise more. With consistent analysis of CLAT mock test, gradually you will become confident. Analysing a mock will help you to monitor your performance with respect to the previous mock you had attempted.
Remember, that you do not feel demotivated if you are unable to score well in initial mocks. Work on your mistakes and get motivated. The motive behind taking a mock test is to assist you in designing your strategy for preparing for the CLAT exam.
Do not forget to do your revision consistently and regularly practising the previous mocks. Many students forget to revise regularly and practice regularly, thereby ending up making the same mistake repeatedly. Attempting mocks again and again will make you realise the silly mistakes you are making repeatedly.
We understand that appearing for mocks and analysing them is a very difficult task. But do not get disheartened. Work on your mistakes and keep improving your preparation. You can improve yourself only with hard work, practice and patience.
