The Mock Exams screen (the /mocks route) is where your full-length practice exams live. The habit that matters: log every mock you sit, right after you sit it, with the subject breakdown filled in. That data feeds your Dashboard's pass projection, your Analytics, and your weak-area rankings everywhere else.
Log a mock
Open Add Mock Exam Result and enter the basics. As you fill it in, a live score preview shows your percentage and its readiness band, so you see where the mock lands before you even save.
- Enter the title, date, total questions, correct answers, and time in minutes, plus optional notes.
- Watch the live score preview update with your percentage and readiness band.
- Save it. Your latest mock becomes the hero card on the screen.
Readiness bands
Every mock score lands in one of four readiness bands. They're a fast read on where a single mock sits — but remember the trend across several mocks tells you far more than any one score. Use the bands to check direction, not to celebrate or panic over a single result.
- Unsafe — below 55%.
- Improving — 55–60%.
- Borderline — 61–64%.
- Exam-ready — 65% and above.
Per-subject breakdown
This is the step worth the extra two minutes. The optional per-subject breakdown grid lets you enter total and correct for each subject, so StudyRise can see exactly which topics are dragging your overall score down — and it warns you if the parts don't add up to the whole.
- Open the per-subject breakdown grid and enter total and correct per subject.
- If the breakdown totals don't match your overall total, StudyRise shows a warning so you can fix the typo.
- This breakdown is the single biggest input to your pass projection — see how the numbers combine in readiness and projections.
| Subject | Total | Correct | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cardiology | 30 | 22 | 73% |
| Respiratory | 25 | 18 | 72% |
| Renal | 20 | 11 | 55% |
Your trend and pace
Your latest mock shows as a hero card with a score trend chart — a dashed reference line marks the 65% exam-ready threshold so you can see at a glance whether you're climbing toward it. Alongside it sits your average pace: seconds per question against your target, which defaults to 72 seconds.
- Read the trend chart: are your scores climbing toward the 65% line, or flat?
- Check average pace — your seconds per question vs your target (default 72s, adjustable in Settings). Finishing on time matters as much as accuracy.
- If you have an active Revision Sprint, a Sprint mocks section suggests when to sit your next scheduled mock.
