How to Analyse Your Mock Test Results Like a Topper
Taking mock tests is important—but what you do after the test is even more important.
Many Kerala PSC aspirants finish a mock test, glance at the score, and move on.
Toppers do something else: they analyse.
They break down their mistakes.
They observe patterns.
They revise based on real weaknesses.
That’s how their next test always scores higher.
In this blog, we’ll show you exactly how to analyse mock test results like a topper—using the free SCERT-based tests from FreePSCtalkz.in as your learning ground.
Step 1: Don’t Just Check the Score—Check the Spread
After you complete a mock test (say 100 Qs), break your performance into these buckets:
| Category | What It Tells You |
|---|---|
| Questions You Got Right | Your strong areas |
| Questions You Guessed Right | Areas you should double-check |
| Questions You Got Wrong | Core revision targets |
| Questions You Skipped | Topics you’re unsure or afraid of |
This tells you where to focus in your next study session, not just where you failed.
Step 2: Create a Mistake Tracker Table
Maintain a simple log like this (use Excel, Google Sheet, or a notebook):
| Date | Topic | Q. No | Mistake Type | Correction Plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 28 | Constitution | Q17 | Guessed Article wrong | Re-read Article 21, 22 |
| Jul 28 | GK | Q42 | Year of event wrong | Revise Kerala History Ch. 8 |
This becomes your personalised revision list—far more useful than repeating whole chapters.
Step 3: Classify Mistakes Into 4 Types
| Mistake Type | What It Means | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Conceptual Error | You didn’t understand the topic | Revisit SCERT concept from textbook |
| Memory Lapse | You knew it, but forgot | Add it to daily recall quiz |
| Silly Mistake | Misread question or rushed | Practice under time pressure |
| Guess Gone Wrong | You guessed without confidence | Study that area to eliminate guesses |
You’ll be surprised how many marks you lose to fixable mistakes.
Step 4: Monitor Your Improvement Every Week
Maintain a score trend chart like this:
| Week | Full Mock Score | Accuracy % | Errors Fixed This Week |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 58/100 | 58% | 6 key facts reviewed |
| 2 | 64/100 | 64% | + Constitution revision |
| 3 | 72/100 | 72% | Kerala Renaissance + GK |
Toppers don’t try to jump from 50 to 90 overnight.
They aim for consistent 5–10 mark growth every week.
Step 5: Retake the Same Test After 10 Days
Don’t just move on to the next mock.
Re-attempt the same mock after 10 days with the same timer.
Check:
-
How much your score improved
-
Which mistakes repeated
-
Whether your revision worked
This is the true test of retention.

Toppers improve not because they know more—
but because they understand where they go wrong,
and fix it immediately.
You can do the same.
Take a test today.
Track your mistakes.
Follow them back to SCERT.
