duuudee 51 in your first mock is honestly a solid base! and the fact that you noticed all those mistakes means your analysis instinct is already strong, which matters more than the score itself.

key takeaways from what you shared, first in VARC trust yourself, if you solved correctly in rough, mark it. second-guessing costs 5-10 marks per mock. for DILR selection is the real skill, spend first 5 mins just scanning all sets before committing, never jump into the first one. for QA 10 attempts is fine but accuracy > attempts, better to do 7 right than 10 half-done. for the back pain, do a 30 sec stretch every 25 mins during prep, build stamina for the 2 hr sit slowly.

give one full mock a week and spend 3 hrs analysing it. in 60 days you can easily cross 70 if you fix selection and nerves. the enjoyment is a great sign, keep going!
