- Separate mistakes into concept errors, reading/calculation errors and time-management errors.
- Redo wrong questions after one or two days without looking at the answer.
- Keep a short error log and look for repeated patterns.
- Use the final mock to practise pacing rather than learning an entirely new chapter.
