Reading mock paper scores the right way
Why one score matters less than the trend — and what to log after each paper.
A single mock score is a snapshot, not a verdict. Track scores by subject over time to spot real improvement.
Log the paper type (school test, mock, SA) and topic focus. Patterns emerge faster when data is consistent.
Celebrate effort on weak topics — a flat score on harder material can still mean growth if careless mistakes drop.
