A study done by Washington University on “Test-enhanced learning” showcased that taking memory tests improves long-term retention.
The abstract of the study mentioned this – “Taking a memory test not only assesses what one knows, but also enhances later retention, a phenomenon known as the testing effect. We studied this effect with educationally relevant materials and investigated whether testing facilitates learning only because tests offer an opportunity to restudy material. In two experiments, students studied prose passages and took one or three immediate free-recall tests, without feedback, or restudied the material the same number of times as the students who received tests. Students then took a final retention test 5 min, 2 days, or 1 week later.
When the final test was given after 5 min, repeated studying improved recall relative to repeated testing. However, on the delayed tests, prior testing produced substantially greater retention than studying, even though repeated studying increased students’ confidence in their ability to remember the material. Testing is a powerful means of improving learning, not just assessing it.”
Pressure is a funny thing. It can make you take minutes to solve questions you usually solve within seconds at the comfort of your home. But, with mock tests, you can surpass that pressure.
The maximum cut-off went up till 129 that year. Now, if you have 150 questions and the cut 0ff was around 129 then you will have to maximise your good attempts even more than 130.
