Mock exams
Revision timetable maker for mock exams
Mock exams are useful because they show what needs fixing before final exams. A mock revision timetable should include practice and correction, not just a list of topics.
For mock exams, schedule weak topics first, use past-paper sections midweek, correct errors in the next session and keep the final day lighter.
Use mocks as evidence
Mocks are not only a grade prediction. They reveal timing issues, repeated mistakes and topics that feel familiar but fail under questions.
Plan correction time
A past paper without marking and correction is half a revision session. Put correction blocks directly into the timetable so errors become the next task.
Rotate subjects by date and confidence
Subjects with sooner mocks and lower confidence deserve more early sessions. Stronger subjects still need short maintenance blocks.
Avoid panic the night before
Near the mock, use lighter recall, formulas, key definitions and error reminders. Do not schedule a punishing new topic immediately before the test.
Example schedule
| Part | Time | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Week start | Diagnosis | Short mixed questions |
| Midweek | Practice | Past-paper section and marking |
| Next session | Correction | Repair errors from the paper |
| Day before | Light review | Recall list and preparation |

How early should I revise for mocks?
Start as soon as the mock timetable is known if possible. Even a two-week plan can make practice and correction more realistic.
Should mock revision be different from final exam revision?
Yes. Mocks should teach you what to change. Use the results to improve the next plan.
