Accuracy and attempts
Separate correct, incorrect, skipped and missed-opportunity questions.
A mock score tells you where you finished. A useful CAT mock analysis explains which questions cost marks, where time leaked and what you should practise before the next test.
Track the metrics that change decisions instead of recording scores in isolation.
Separate correct, incorrect, skipped and missed-opportunity questions.
Find questions and sets that consumed time without producing marks.
Track recurring strengths and gaps across VARC, DILR and Quant attempts.
Complete analysis before rushing into another mock. Each step should produce a specific change for the next attempt.
There is no fixed duration, but serious analysis often takes at least as long as the test. The goal is to reattempt, classify mistakes and define an action plan rather than simply reading solutions.
Track score, accuracy, attempts, time per question or set, topic performance, difficulty, missed opportunities and section-level trends. Interpret percentile alongside the size and quality of the comparison pool.
Analysis identifies repeatable causes of lost marks. Targeted practice and strategy changes can then improve accuracy, selection and time use, which are the behaviours that influence future scores.
A spreadsheet can be useful for manual tracking. MBA CATalyst records question and topic data automatically so you can spend more time interpreting patterns and practising weak areas.
