Why Custom IB Practice Tests Are Game-Changers
Generic past papers are useful, but they rarely align precisely with your strongest and weakest syllabus areas. With custom exams, you can:
- Focus solely on your weak topics
- Choose the mix of question styles you need
- Simulate actual exam timing and conditions
RevisionDojo’s Test Builder feature allows you to tailor tests by subject, paper (Paper 1, 2, or 3), topic, and question count—ideal for sharpening weak areas.(revisiondojo.com, revisiondojo.com)
Step 1: Pinpoint Your Weak Topics
Start by reviewing your quiz or mock exam analytics on RevisionDojo. The platform shows your weakest topics, question types, and command-term usage.(revisiondojo.com) This helps you know exactly what to focus on.
Step 2: Build Your Custom Exam
Using the Test Builder:
- Select your IB subject and paper type.
- Pick the topics you need to work on.
- Set the number of questions and optionally filter by difficulty.
- Generate a printable or online test with AI scoring via Jojo.(revisiondojo.com)
This creates micro-tests or full-length mock exams tailored to your revision plan.(revisiondojo.com)
Step 3: Simulate Real Exam Conditions
- Time your exam as if it’s the real thing
- Work distraction-free—no notes or alerts
- Submit answers online and receive instant AI feedback
- Use review comments to correct pacing, structure, or command-term errors.(revisiondojo.com, revisiondojo.com, revisiondojo.com)
Step 4: Analyze and Repeat
Post-test, you can review:
- Accuracy per topic and question type
- Timing per question to spot pacing trouble
- Recurring mistakes like misreading or calculation slips.(revisiondojo.com, revisiondojo.com)
These insights help you refine your focus for the next custom test.
Step 5: Iterate for Mastery
Update your focus topics based on analytics, rebuild your custom test, retest under exam conditions, and track improvement over multiple cycles.(revisiondojo.com) Each cycle should bring your accuracy closer to 90%.
