What you know
Topics you can already solve reliably.
Practise under exam conditions, then learn exactly what to fix. Every PRATHAM mock is built for diagnosis, not just a score.

An IPMAT mock test is a practice examination designed to simulate the relevant entrance test.
It trains the skills a syllabus can't: choosing which questions to attempt, managing time, holding accuracy under pressure and making fast decisions.
The objective is diagnosis as well as practice. A good mock answers five questions about you.
Topics you can already solve reliably.
Concepts you haven't mastered yet.
Questions within reach with better selection.
Question types that slow you down.
Patterns that keep costing marks.
You need both — at different stages of preparation.
| Practice test | Full-length mock |
|---|---|
| Topic or section focused | Complete examination simulation |
| Can begin untimed | Usually timed |
| Used during learning | Used to assess readiness |
| Builds concepts and skills | Tests application and strategy |
| Frequent | Periodic, then progressive |
Use this list to judge any online test series — including ours.
Exam-like timer with section rules applied.
Mark, skip and revisit questions like the real exam.
Separate Quant and Verbal results.
Correct vs incorrect, by topic.
How many attempted, skipped and guessed.
Time per question and per section.
Concept, correct option and faster methods.
Trends across every mock you take.
Someone to help you read the report.
Talk to a counsellorMove through five phases. Avoid finishing all mocks without analysing them.
Establish your starting level and weak topics.
Isolate Quant and Verbal; work on speed and selection.
Combine topics to simulate real question mixes.
Complete mocks under exam timing.
Controlled mocks close to exam day.
There is no universal ideal number. What matters is the cycle: Mock → Analysis → Revision → Practice → Next Mock.
Begin with diagnostic and topic tests during preparation, introduce sectional tests mid-way, then increase full-length mocks as the exam approaches — always protecting time to analyse each one.
Short tests while concepts are being built.
Weekly sectional tests to build speed.
More frequent full mocks, each with analysis.
Track more than your score. After every mock, record:
Classify every error and assign a corrective action to each category.
The idea wasn't understood.
Right method, wrong arithmetic.
Misread what was asked.
Too long on one question.
Silly slips and mis-marking.
Read your report like a doctor reads symptoms. Each pattern points to a different fix.
Track performance over time rather than focusing on one score. Compare score, accuracy, attempts and recurring weaknesses across tests.
What to do at each stage of a mock.
Treat every mock like the real exam. The habits you build here are the ones you'll carry into the exam hall.
If a question isn't moving after a reasonable effort, mark it and move on. Come back only if time remains.
Analyse while the test is fresh. Waiting a week means you'll forget why you made each choice.
When and how to use mocks depends on your class.
Focus on learning, not score comparison.
Balance boards, then accelerate.
Find your current level, strengths, weak topics, accuracy and time-management issues — free.
A useful solution does more than show the right option.
Which idea the question is built on.
Step-by-step reasoning for the correct option.
What makes each wrong option tempting — and wrong.
Shortcuts and approximations where they apply.
Follow-up questions on the same concept.
A nudge to record the mistake and its fix.
Six habits that stop mock scores from improving.
Start early enough to learn from them.
Accuracy and time tell you more.
That's where the marks are.
Without analysis, volume doesn't help.
Slow questions cost other questions.
Re-solve old errors before the next mock.
Run through this list for every mock you take.
The students who improve most across a test series are rarely the ones who take the most mocks. They are the ones who re-solve their previous mock's mistakes before attempting the next one.
Answers to the questions students ask most about mocks.

Yes. Mocks build exam temperament and reveal weak areas that topic practice alone can miss.
Start diagnostic and topic tests early, add sectional tests mid-preparation, and increase full-length mocks as the exam approaches.
There is no fixed number. Take as many as you can properly analyse, following the cycle of mock, analysis, revision, practice and the next mock.
Usually not. Daily full mocks leave no time for analysis and revision. Increase frequency gradually near the exam, keeping time to review each one.
Diagnose the pattern: low accuracy needs concepts, low attempts need speed and selection, and repeated errors need an error log. Track trends across tests.
A free diagnostic mock is useful for finding your current level, strengths and weak topics, especially early in preparation.
Yes. Analysis is where improvement happens; an unanalysed mock gives you a score but not a plan.
Yes. Sectional tests isolate Quant and Verbal performance so you can work on concept accuracy, speed and time per question.
Not exactly. Mocks vary in difficulty. Consistent trends in accuracy and attempts are a better guide to readiness than any single score.
