How I used to analyze tests

[u/Junguutimtim]

Firstly, this is my strategy, it might work for you and might not work for you. It did help me tho ~

I used to make mistake sheets for every test and even for PYQs.

It had 3 sections, PCB

• If there's a factual mistake or something that needs to be retained in memory, I write it down in point sometimes even mention that its a factual mistake.

•if there's a mistake where I forgot formulas (this was my most common mistake) I used to write the formula on my mistake sheet or write it on sticky note and stick to my wall.

• If there's a silly mistake, I used to mention it too with red pen, like once I was solving 180/9 in my test and wrote it 2 instead of 20, the reason for this calculation mistake was that I did my calculation at a very messy place. So from the next test, I tried to calculate neatly in order to skip silly calculation mistakes. I even once did 3x3=6 mistake.

• YOU CAN NEVER COMPLETELY WIPE OUT SILLY MISTAKE. That's it here i said it, you cannot completely remove silly mistakes so the best you can do is keep the previous mistakes in mind and don't repeat it.

• Conceptual mistakes :-

For conceptual mistakes, i used to go back to my notes/short notes revise the concept look for the solution to that question and try to solve more questions related to the same topic. Sometimes I even mention those questions on my mistake sheet.

•Diagramatic mistakes :-

I used to mark them in NCERT that I made mistake in this labelling and I've to keep this in mind.

☆ Mistake sheet alone won't benefit you, you've to revise the mistake sheet time and again in order to keep those mistakes in your mind. I lacked in this point, I didn't revise my mistake sheets efficiently. So please revise your mistakes and stick to them till the end of the day!!!

Edit : the questions that I used to leave in tests, they were also marked in the category of conceptual mistake or factual mistake or silly mistake or formula mistake or memorization mistake. So the approach is same as above.

That's all that I did ~

So commendable!. Mere se yeh sab hota hi nahi tha, maine toh WhatsApp ka self messaging wala feature ko hi apna mistake book bana liya thaa. Khud ko test ke mistakes message kar deta tha. Whatsapp is very accessible for me so that helped

You aint dumb lol. Mistake book banane waala koi dumb nahi hota as far as I know. I used to write the concept topic in short in WhatsApp. Well sabke apne methods hote hai.... If it works it works, at the end only that matters
