What is a "mock"?

A mock is a practice test designed to simulate the format, structure, and difficulty of an actual exam. It helps students prepare for upcoming exams by allowing them to assess their knowledge, identify areas for improvement, and become familiar with the test-taking environment. Mock exams are often used in educational settings, such as schools and universities, to give students a chance to practice under timed conditions and reduce anxiety before the real exam. While mock exams do not count toward final grades, they are useful tools for measuring readiness and improving performance.

Examples
Practicing with mocks can improve students' confidence and performance.
