Devansh Gupta –
The difficulty of the practice questions simulates the real test experience of taking the actual exam. It helped me understand my weak areas and to have the right mindset to address the questions and to study more in those areas. The detailed explanation helped me understand my wrong answers. Also, these exams helped me in coming up with a strategy to remove wrong answers by process of elimination, a handy skill to have when you want to narrow down the possible good answers. The detailed explanation of the correct answer and why the other answers are incorrect is very helpful and a refresher for the core concepts throughout the mocks.
Highly recommended for answering questions based on scenarios and to revise your learnings
