# 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

1. **Sign in and take tests as usual** — With a free account, every wrong answer from Shishya's mocks and quizzes is saved. (https://shishya.in/login)
2. **Open the mistake notebook** — Go to the revision page. Your wrong answers are grouped by exam. (https://shishya.in/revision)
3. **Read why it was wrong** — Each question has its solution. Write one line in your own notebook about the reason: concept, calculation or careless.
4. **Re-test after a gap** — Re-test the question a few days later. A correct answer clears it from the notebook.
5. **Fix one weak topic at a time** — If 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.

## Questions

**Is the mistake notebook free?** Yes, with a free account.

**When does a question leave the notebook?** When you answer it correctly on a re-test.
