How to stop repeating the same mistakes in mock tests

To stop repeating mock-test mistakes, keep every wrong answer in one place, read its solution, and re-test it a few days later until you get it right. Shishya's free mistake notebook at shishya.in/revision does this for you: every wrong answer from your tests is collected automatically, grouped by exam, and can be re-tested in one tap until it is cleared.

For: Students whose mock scores are stuck because the same kinds of questions keep going wrong.

Steps

Sign in and take tests as usualWith a free account, every wrong answer from Shishya's mocks and quizzes is saved.
Open the mistake notebookGo to the revision page. Your wrong answers are grouped by exam.
Read why it was wrongEach question has its solution. Write one line in your own notebook about the reason: concept, calculation or careless.
Re-test after a gapRe-test the question a few days later. A correct answer clears it from the notebook.
Fix one weak topic at a timeIf many mistakes come from one topic, take that topic's quiz before your next full mock.

Tips

Skip questions you are unsure about in exams with negative marking.
Re-taking the same full mock again and again raises the score without raising your level; fixing one topic and then re-testing does.
Ask the AI tutor to explain a solution you still do not follow.

When Shishya is not the right tool

The notebook collects questions from Shishya's own tests. Mistakes from a paper you wrote elsewhere are not imported; you can still ask the AI tutor about them.
