When Mock Scores Go Up and Down
Dear Student,
One mock went well.
The next didn’t.
Then another surprised you — in a different way.
And now your mind is restless.
You start thinking:
“Am I improving or not?”
“Why are my scores so unstable?”
“Which score is the real me?”
Let me tell you the truth — calmly and clearly:
🌱 Fluctuating scores are a sign that learning is still in progress.
Stability comes after refinement, not before.
Mock tests are not measuring a fixed ability.
They are testing:
Different question mixes
Different difficulty levels
Different pressure situations
Different versions of you
So variation is expected.
What matters is not the height of the peaks
or the depth of the dips —
but the direction of the average.
One low score does not erase improvement.
One high score does not mean you’ve arrived.
The danger in this phase is emotional attachment:
Feeling overconfident after a good test
Feeling broken after a bad one
Both are distractions.
Your job now is not to react —
it is to observe.
Ask better questions:
Are my silly mistakes reducing?
Is my accuracy improving?
Is my time management stabilising?
Am I calmer than before?
These indicators matter more than marks.
As Virat Kohli once said:
“Confidence and determination are the most important qualities in a player.”
Confidence doesn’t mean believing every test will go well.
It means trusting that you can handle whatever comes.
Treat each mock like training data, not a verdict.
Analyse with honesty, not emotion.
Adjust with patience, not panic.
This phase is shaping your mental resilience —
the quality that decides performance on the final day.
Scores will stabilise.
Clarity will increase.
Confidence will deepen.
But only if you stay calm through the noise.
You are not inconsistent.
You are in transition.
Stay steady.
The system is working.
With faith in your maturity,
Team Chemca
