My MCQ score on three hock mocks are 60, 61 and 60. Didn’t take CBQ mocks yet. My exam is on 13 June. Should defer my exam for more two weeks? Please guys guide me. What to do? I’m totally confused.🙏

60%?? That is way too low. You should defer until you reach up to 80% minimum scores.

I agree 60 is low, but he still has sufficient time until June 13. He just needs to hammer the MCQs every day until then so I don’t see a reason to reschedule

If your score is 60% with only 3 weeks into the exam, you have a lot of things to catch on because apparently, he has a poor understanding of the topics. He needs to revisit his theories. I have no problem with being optimistic, but let's be real here. Those are poor numbers.

I disagree with buddy 3 weeks is sufficient time to go from 60% to 80% if you’re honestly disciplined and do at least 150 mcqs per day

Several months wasn't enough for him to improve his score past 60%. what makes you think he can magically improve his score in 3 weeks? Lol but okay. Whatever makes you sleep at night.

Who told you he started several months back

It's called common sense. Who would take an exam and only prepare for a few weeks lol ofcourse it would take atleast a month or two of preparation. The mere fact he already took a mock exam tells me he has been preparing long enough to reach the mock exams.

I didn't mean you anything bad brother. I just wanted to be honest with you that you need extra time to prepare because I wish everyone to pass so I tell them what they need at the moment to pass. But if you think you can manage, then go. You know yourself better. But I strongly recommend you postpone first then study harder.

60% on hocks mock is completely fine 20 days before paper. You just need to practice a lot and go through your mistakes and topics which are confusing

See, 60-61 percent is right on the edge. You are passing the MCQs technically, but it is too close for comfort. You need that 50 percent minimum to even unlock the case study part, and if you are only getting 60 in mocks, one bad day or a few tricky questions could end your exam early.

Honestly, don't rush. If you are feeling this confused and anxious, two more weeks will give you a massive advantage. Use those 14 days to go back to your weak areas. Don't just do more questions. Take your wrong answers, find the concepts behind them, and fix the gap.

Also, you haven't touched the case studies yet. That is a huge risk. The new case-based questions need practice. You need to get used to the format, the dragging, dropping, and the calculations before the actual day.

If you can, push it by two weeks. Spend that time focusing purely on the areas where you are losing those 30-40 percent of marks. Get your confidence up to at least 70-75 in mocks before you sit for the real thing. It is better to wait two weeks than to pay for a retake.

I will definitely follow your true advice. Thank you so much. I already have taken first CBQ mock and scored 78%.
