• Topic strength: It collects and displays the data based on your performance in each topic of each section (English, Quant, GA, Reasoning) of the mock to give you an idea of your strengths and the required push to work on your weaknesses.

 Comparison can be harnessed into a great tool to boost your performance. Through positive comparisons, you discover the possibilities that you didn't even realize could be true and work on them to perform even better. When you compare your test performance with the test topper, his/her efforts and achievements will encourage you to work on your weaknesses and perform to the best of your ability. Smartkeeda provides different types of comparative analysis

• Comparison with the Test Topper:

The “Comparison Tab” available in the analytics section of the Smartkeeda mock test displays the time spent by the topper on difficult questions, his accuracy, and the type of questions skipped by him to boost his score.

5. Time Allocation Graphs

You cannot trivialize the importance of each second during your banking exams. In prelims, you’re given 100 questions to answer within 60 minutes with a time limit of 20 minutes in each section. Therefore, the biggest hurdle that banking aspirants face is time management. Without giving a proper focus on mocks and their analysis, you cannot decide the precise amount of time you should spend on the different types of questions.

Smartkeeda gives you a helping hand in crossing this hurdle by keeping a track of the time you spent on each question in each section. The application also compares your allocated time to the topper’s to give you a rough idea of the ideal time that should be given to tricky as well as easy questions.

6. Reattempt Mode

 Mistakes happen! We all make them, it is part of what makes us human. None of us is immune to making mistakes. How you react and respond to them and how willing you are to learn from them defines your future.
After attempting the mock test, you should analyze your mistakes honestly and objectively. While doing so, you should ask yourself the following questions:

• What was I trying to do while solving this question?
• What was wrong with my method?
• Where did it go wrong?
• Why did it go wrong?

Conducting such a post-mortem of your mistake will reveal the root cause of it and therefore you can devise methods to avoid it in the future. You can identify the skills, knowledge, resources, or tools that will keep you from repeating those mistakes.
The “Reattempt Mode” of Smartkeeda gives you a second chance to attempt the same mock and allows you to apply better techniques you’ve learned during your analysis session. You can see a visible difference in your speed and accuracy by applying the better techniques you devised. It also compares your “Reattempt result” to your “previous result” to help you understand the improvement in your performance. Smartkeeda provides you with two types of reattempt modes:

1. Full-length Re-attempt mode: In this mode, you can re-attempt the complete test in a go just like a fresh test. You can evaluate your performance by comparing it with your previous performance. This will motivate you to approach the test in a better way to boost your score.
2. Partial Re-attempt mode: This mode gives you another chance to attempt the question that you either skipped or attempted incorrectly on your first attempt.

7. Doubt-Asking Feature

It is typical to encounter doubts while taking mocks. Therefore, a well-organized doubt-asking feature is a crucial part of any mock test series. If you get stuck with any question or explanation, you should instantly be able to raise doubt and get an answer to your problem as soon as possible.
