Every CA Student is aware of the Mock test which is conducted by ICAI but hardly should one try that. Only very few students take the Mock Test seriously. It is not because they are not aware of the importance but the reason is that they don't get the time to give mock tests due to incomplete revision of the vast syllabus of the CA Course. But if a student completes the exam preparation 15 days before the examination, he/she can get enough time to give at least two mock tests of each subject.

If you are not giving the mock test even after enough time, it means you are going into the water without safety equipment. So every student should give at least two mock tests to find their weakness so that they can improve those mistakes even before sitting in actual exams.

ICAI also provides the mock test which should always try before your final exam date. It is because you can not measure the water unless you dive into that.  ICAI mock test is very reliable and is available at free of cost. If we talk about the ICAI mock test, you will be surprised after reading the benefits of the ICAI mock test.

  1. ICAI Mock Tests are at Low Price or Free of Cost: ICAI provides an option for students to either sit in exam-like situations and then give the exam or download it from the ICAI website free of cost and then give that exam. In the former case, ICAI charges from the student for making arrangements for exams whereas in the latter case you analyze your paper on your own taking into consideration the suggested answers provided by ICAI.
  2. Performance Improvement: ICAI mock test is set in such a manner that you can analyze your level of preparation easily. After giving one mock test, you will find where you lack and then you can improve that portion easily before your actual exams.
  3. High Chances of Mock Test Questions in actual exam: It has been observed that some times ICAI gives the same or alike question in the actual exams which it had provided in the mock test. This is the most important benefit why the students should attempt mock tests conducted or provided by ICAI.
  4. Pre-Planned Strategy in actual exam for one day revision: After attempting mock tests, you will be capable to complete your course in just one day during your actual exam because at that time you will be aware of what you should study during that one day and you will not be wasting your time in planning the one-day exam strategy. It is the most beneficial part because the CA course is so vast and you can not complete the same in one day without a pre-planned strategy.
So those students who are going in the actual exam without attempting the mock tests, are actually taking a very big risk in their exam result.  Instead of taking any risk with your hard work, it is better to attempt the mock tests provided by ICAI. After giving mock exams, the chances of scoring good marks in the actual exam increases because you can identify your weakness and improve that easily without any stress.
