According to Kamat, it is important to understand the concepts and solving previous year's question papers for better performance in the examination. Priti said, "I used to practice more of the question paper as suppose to the mock tests."
Priti put special stress on solving the previous year's question papers as suppose to taking mock tests. She explained the reason for her preference for the previous year's question paper over mock tests was that the question papers would help her understand the type of questions and topics that the final exam is most likely to cover.
