How preparing with mock tests can help you pass
Reading the official NISM SORM exam workbook is essential, but here’s how mock tests transform your preparation:
1- Simulate Exam Pressure:
- Practice under real conditions: 100 questions in 120 minutes, with negative marking. No surprises on D-Day!
Target Weaknesses: - Got stuck on “auction settlement” or “SPAN margins”? Mocks expose gaps so you can revise strategically.
2- Outsmart Negative Marking:
- Learn to skip uncertain questions. (Example: If unsure between 2 options, skip)
3- Decode the changes:
- Exam pattern and syllabus changes constantly. Mock tests by A+MockTest mirror current patterns. Try the free demo.
