Took my third official mocks yesterday and got 655 (Q83, V82, DI82).
For context;
Official Mock 1 (10th Oct 2025): 585 (Q79, V81, DI77)
Official Mock 2 (18th Jan 2026): 675 (Q87, V81, DI 82)
Felt quite a bit of anxiety and uneasiness this time for Mock# 3, which honestly was a bit uncharacteristic of myself, and for which i had not faced in the first two mocks. How to ideally deal with the test day anxiety? My exam is on the 22nd March, so roughly less than a month left for prep. What would be the ideal prep style for the last month for someone looking to make finer improvements?

Hi Shiladitya123,
Both 675 and 655 are very good scores, so that's a great sign! As for next steps, it really comes down to you. Analyse your recent mocks to identify your weaknesses, and keep doing timed practice and keep taking full-length practice tests (at least 1/week). Try not to worry about an ideal prep style, as what works for someone else may not work for you.
All the best!

You’ll get better at managing test anxiety by taking a good number of full-length mocks. As your accuracy becomes more consistent, your confidence will grow and the real exam will start to feel more familiar and less stressful. Some experts also recommend mindfulness practices, so it may be worth adding a short daily routine and seeing if that helps you stay calm and focused.
In terms of improvement, I think your biggest opportunity is consistency in your strongest area. Doubling down on Quant and minimizing errors there could be the key factor in pushing your score higher. Focus especially on avoiding mistakes on easy and medium questions, since those are the ones that tend to hurt scores the most. I also see some room for improvement in Verbal. You could try Marty’s streak method and practice by topic, moving from easier to harder questions. That approach helped me improve my accuracy quite efficiently.
