PrepExIf a short diagnostic identifies a Reading weakness, would you work on that first or check it with a full mock? I'm trying to separate finding a practice target from checking exam timing.

I'd use the short test to choose something to check, then use a full mock to practise the full timing. A short result is only a starting point.

If one Reading question is wrong, how do you choose what to practise? One wrong answer seems a small amount.

One wrong answer isn't much evidence. Check why it was wrong: an unfamiliar word, or a claim the passage didn't make? Try fresh questions to see whether the same difficulty repeats.

Neither score guarantees the real result, though. A full mock samples more tasks; it still gives practice evidence rather than an official band.
