Negative marking changes the value of guessing. Before the test, confirm the marking rule shown for that specific mock. During the attempt, separate questions into confident, workable and uncertain groups. Secure the confident marks first. For uncertain questions, use elimination only when you can genuinely reduce the options; random guessing can erase marks gained elsewhere. During analysis, check how much of the final loss came from incorrect attempts rather than unanswered questions. The goal is not to avoid every risk, but to make risk deliberate and consistent with the exam pattern.

Use the result to choose your next practice

Open your TMock dashboard after a submitted attempt, check subject and chapter accuracy, then choose a focused test before your next full mock.
