More the mock tests, better the performance in the exam

'Hard labour, easy battle' is a very popular proverb and this is applicable not only for those working in the defence sector, but for students as well. If students work seriously for their examinations for the whole semester/year, they can joyfully appear in the examination- battle and come out successfully.
In preparing themselves for the final examinations, it is helpful that they appear in some mock tests. This helps them answer the questions at ease.
When they appear in mock tests, they can experience the environment of a real examination of undergoing some tough hours. Starting from need of what type of pen and pencil are required to how a student feels while revising an answer, all these can be experienced while appearing in a mock test.
Fear for exam is removed by appearing in model tests. Fear is a common phenomenon that acts as an obstacle for many students to perform well in the examination in most cases, despite having good preparation for the examination. When fear is away, one can act more efficiently. Such mental enemy must be kept aside during an exam, which is an important success-stair for any student. From appearing in mock tests repeatedly, students can become bold and confident and can perform better in the exam.
One must be very strict while appearing in a mock test. One should not indulge in other activities like attending a phone call, should not take rest or should not talk to others. Let the whole time of mock be a tough time and let it be a time for one's full devotion.
It becomes more effective if students can appear in mock tests in a group. This creates competitive mentality among them. They can later discuss experiences of what mistakes they made and how they can solve it. Then again, when it is not possible to appear in a group, they should appear in these tests alone.
Each time after you appear mock, you will be more interested in knowing your subject better. You will be more attentive. You will automatically try to present certain issue better than before.
Every mock test needs your high level of patience. If you can just have that patience, crossing the hurdles of real exams will be easier.
Most importantly, this will be your life-time habit. In your professional life whenever you will have some important mission in hand, you will be more cautious to handle it. May be you will take part in rehearsal, say for any pending delivery of speech or for any job interview. You will enjoy multiple benefits that you could not even imagine before for such a good habit.
