The Power of Practice: Mock exams are more than just tests; they are a crucial training ground to refine skills, manage time, and build the confidence needed for IGCSE success.
Why Mock Exams Matter More Than You Think
Mock exams are your way of knowing exactly what to expect: the types of questions, the structure, the time limits, and the environment. They are a dress rehearsal for the main event, allowing you to test your skills and identify areas for improvement without the pressure of the final grade.
Research Shows: Students who take regular mock exams improve their final grades by an average of 15-20% compared to those who don't.
