@zee, great article, and thank you so much for this comprehensive guide on practice papers!
It’s good to know what is the “norm” and how much practice is sufficient as no one else out there points this out to you at times.

6 full sets @Zayd‌ I’m afraid, 6 morning and 6 afternoon papers, just like practicing for the real exams 6x. Fret not, we are coming up with a list of recommended practice papers for you to get by end of the month!

Where’s your 7 coming from @sidmenon, @policedog?

Wish I had the luxury of time like this. Being allowed the week off before the exam I guess, but somehow don’t think I’ll manage six/seven mocks in that time, nor would it probably be productive to do so.

@Jwa‌ L3 is a bit of an issue. In my experience reading the solutions sometimes don’t help, as you can’t really be sure that your answer isn’t wrong even if it doesn’t match the given answer. In the end as long as I was familiar with the topic and concepts tested by the question, I just moved on.

Do you guys manage to review full mock (240 questions) the same day? I mean to check all wrong answers and understand them. as I’m normally doing this next day..

@Dubinka‌ I usually do them the following day. It takes a lot of time, especially reviewing the problematic questions!

@Jwa‌ we are working on an article on tips to maximise the benefit from your available practice exams if you don’t have enough time to finish all of them. Stay tuned!

@zee @sophie Is this saying 6 Full (Morning and Afternoon), or 6 sets of exams (3 Full)?

@Zee I think it is particularly problematic for LIII candidates as it can take a huge amount of time to debrief written questions

@Dubinka‌ – normally I suggest doing the practice exam in 1 day (6 hours, just like the real one), leave checking and reviewing to the next day. By the time you’ve finished 6 hours of exam the brain is usually mushed up anyway, and in no state to absorb further knowledge. So yes, do the test 1 day, check/review the next day is a good mantra!
