How long should mock review take?

About as long as the mock itself for the first few, an hour-plus of honest classification. It shortens as your error bins empty.

How to Analyse TNPSC Mock Tests (the Hour That Matters)

Writing mocks feels like preparation; reviewing them is preparation. The hour after each mock decides whether the next one scores higher.

Step 1
Classify every error into four bins
Didn't know (content gap), knew but confused (revision gap), misread (process error), ran out of time (speed gap). Each bin has a different fix, and mixing them hides the real problem.
Step 2
Track errors by syllabus unit
Three errors in TN history across two mocks is a signal; scattered singles are noise. Your per-unit error count is the only revision priority list you need.
Step 3
Review the lucky corrects too
Guessed answers that landed are hidden gaps. Mark guesses during the mock itself so review catches them.
Step 4
Fix one thing before the next mock
One unit repaired, one process rule ('read all options before answering'), then the next mock measures the fix. Mocks are experiments; change one variable.
