Most parents over-use mock papers, treating them as drills. They're actually most valuable as diagnostic tools — to find weak areas, not to grind through.
The ratio that works
For every mock paper sat, spend roughly equal time reviewing it. A 50-minute mock deserves a 50-minute review afterwards.
Review the wrong ones, not the right ones
Go through every wrong answer. Why was it wrong? Misread? Genuine gap? Silly slip? Categorise them. Practice now a free mock to start this process.
Pattern-spot across mocks
If your child gets every ratio question wrong across two mocks, ratio is the problem — not "maths". Drill the specific topic before moving on.
Don't over-mock
One mock a week is plenty. More than that and reviewing time disappears. Mocks without review are just expensive guesses.
