How to use mock exams before the CLE
A mock exam is only useful if you treat it like the real one and learn from it afterward. Here is how to get the most out of the 4 timed CLE mocks in the reviewer.
- 1Take one full timed mock early, before you feel ready. It gives you an honest baseline and shows which of the 6 subjects need the most work.
- 2Review every item you missed against its explanation, not just the ones you guessed. A wrong answer you understand is worth more than a right answer you fluked.
- 3Use the per-subject breakdown after each mock to steer your study back toward your weakest areas, especially any subject near the 60% floor.
- 4Retake the mocks closer to exam day under strict time. Aim to pass all 4 versions comfortably above 75% before you sit the real thing.
