Don’t restart everything from scratch tbh if you’ve already practiced take a step back and analyse your mocks properly check whether you’re losing marks because of concepts silly mistakes or attempting questions u shouldn’t for accuracy start with fewer questions and focus on getting them right rather than increasing attempts and don’t let a few bad mocks convince u that u can’t do it revise those concepts in which u get stuck practice questions and then give a mock or u can can give sectional first whichever section is the most difficult for u give it's topic tests and sectionals then give mock and see where r u losing your marks

Practice ques on daily basis and check mock analysis to see what areas are weak , then repeat that topic that is needed.

To enhance accuracy, start solving questions in a timed manner. give yourself a target to solve 10 QA questions in 40 mins, then check your accuracy. similarly set targets for dilr and varc , any topic. Also, it is quite normal to feel struck during this phase, so try to play some games like word games/ suduko, to keep you going even when mock scores are low

Don't get discouraged by a few rough mocks. Scoring plateaus are completely normal at this stage. Instead of over-attempting, take a step back and diagnose your errors: are you losing marks to conceptual gaps, calculation slips, or attempting low-confidence questions? Reducing your attempts to focus purely on high-accuracy questions usually breaks the slump.
