Mock-exam error log and review worksheet

Record the task, cause and correction for each practice error, then choose the next exercise that tests the missing skill.

Use the worksheet

Download the CSV and open it in a spreadsheet application. Two completed examples demonstrate the fields. Replace those examples with your own practice records. Keep descriptions specific enough that a later review tells you what to practise, rather than simply recording that an answer was wrong.

Classify the cause

Separate conceptual misunderstandings from calculation conventions, reading errors and time-management issues. A wrong rate interval needs different practice from a missing definition. Record the correction in your own words, then select a focused task that can show whether the correction worked.

Useful review fields
FieldWhat to record
TaskThe calculation, interpretation or decision you attempted
Error typeThe kind of mistake
Why it happenedThe actual misconception or process failure
CorrectionA clear rule or method
Next practice actionA specific exercise that checks the missing skill

Check the correction on a new task

Reattempting an identical question can reward memory rather than understanding. Choose a related task with a meaningful change in what you must do, then explain the solution. Update the log when you can complete the task reliably. The worksheet is a review aid, not a readiness score.
