 Testing : A tool to improve your speed, strike rate and selection

What is the importance of testing ?

 

Success in competitive exams requires excellence in two areas:

• Learning the fundamentals

• Application of fundamentals to solve problems.

While the focus of school/coaching institute / books / correspondence course is on the first area, the focus of a testing organization/test series is on application of fundamentals. Apart from strengthening the application and benchmarking, the mock tests decrease the anxiety and increase the confidence of the examinee on the test day. (A survey found out that most of the students in examination lose 10 to 15% marks because of silly mistakes & these mistakes can be reduced by mock tests as they boost the confidence of the candidate by strengthening time & temperament management skills) Some of the benefits of a good mock test series are

• Benchmarking - relative & absolute to be able to find where do you stand amongst thousands of students

• Highlights strong and weak areas

• Improves Speed and Stamina

• Builds up confidence and strengthens time and temperament management skills

• Reduces silly mistakes

• Acts as a revision tool

• Gives a platform for experimenting with different strategies (recognizing the weak and strong points and thus dividing time on different sections accordingly)

• Builds up the competitive spirit

• Builds test stamina-sitting for two hours at a go and working speedily

When should you join a test series program?

 

Usually most of the students feel that they should join testing in the last stages of their preparation. But remember if you join a testing program in the last stages it might lead to a situation in which it is too late to react. You might be able to find your weak areas but you might not have time to take corrective measures. Remember a good test series

1. Acts as a guide/counsellor in the initial stages of your preparation.

2. Develops and sharpens problem solving skills during the preparation.

3. Acts as a scientifically designed revision tool in the final stages of preparation.

4. Last but not the least, a testing programme keeps you focussed during your entire preparation. It tells you where you are,where you have to be, what is the gap and how exactly that gap can be filled up. The moment you get deviated from your track,the testing programme helps you in bringing back.

Keeping the above in mind in order to get maximum benefit it is advised to subscribe to test series in the early stages of preparation.However, be careful enough in finding out whether the tests are full-length or part tests. Join a test series which starts with part tests and has full length tests in the end
