Scoremojo editorial teamKey takeaways
- Review within 48 hours of the test, while you still remember your thinking.
- Sort every wrong answer by reason: didn't know it, misread it, or ran out of time.
- End the review with three topics to drill this week, not a list of everything.
When should you review a practice test?
Review it within 48 hours. After that you forget why you chose an answer, and the review turns into re-reading explanations instead of fixing your thinking.
The 45-minute routine
Your progress stays in this browser.
Should you review questions you got right?
Review the ones you guessed or found slow. A correct guess is a hidden mistake: next time the same topic may cost you the point.
What do you do after the review?
Turn the three topics into practice for the week and redo the wrong questions seven days later. If you get them right without help, cross them off your log.
Questions students ask
How long should a test review take?
About 45 minutes for one full test is enough if you follow a routine. Longer reviews tend to turn into re-reading.
Should I retake the same test?
Not the whole test. Redo the questions you got wrong a week later; that tests whether the fix stuck.
