IB mock exams are a crucial "dress rehearsal" for your final IB exams. They help you identify strengths and weaknesses, practice exam technique under timed conditions, and get a realistic idea of your current understanding without the full pressure of the real thing. They're an invaluable opportunity to learn and improve your strategy.

Start by mapping out all your mock exam dates and work backward from the last exam, scheduling revision sessions. Prioritise subjects you find more challenging or those with extensive content. Remember to pace yourself, incorporate regular breaks, and vary subjects to keep your study dynamic and effective. Don't be too rigid – flexibility is key!

Techniques like the Pomodoro method can help maintain focus and prevent burnout. It's also beneficial to break up study sessions for a single subject into multiple shorter blocks throughout the week to keep content fresh and improve absorption. Most importantly, prioritise adequate sleep and avoid all-nighters to ensure optimal performance and recall.

Don't worry! Mock exams are primarily a learning tool, not the final word. If your results aren't what you expected, view it as valuable feedback. It highlights specific areas where you need more focus and gives you ample time to adjust your study strategy before the final exams. There's always time to improve and refine your approach.
