How many CAT mocks should I attempt before the actual exam?

Body

Mocks are stressing me out. How many full-length CAT mocks should I attempt before the exam, and what’s the right way to analyze my performance so I actually improve my scores and don’t just keep repeating the same mistakes?

    I’ll be blunt: you need to give at least 25-30 full-length mocks, minimum. I ended up doing about 45. The real improvement doesn’t come from the number of mocks, but how you analyze them. After each mock, I’d spend more time on analysis than the actual test, check every question I got wrong, see if it was a silly mistake or a genuine concept gap. Mark every question you guessed or fluked; don’t let fluke corrects make you overconfident. Track your attempts, accuracy, and time per section. For me, DILR was a strong suit, so I focused more on VARC and made sure to rotate the order of sections sometimes to break patterns. Don’t take a low mock score personally, use it to find gaps, then focus revision there. Mocks are for experimenting and failing, not for boosting your ego.
