If 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.

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.

Would you leave the timer off for that fresh question, if the problem is understanding the sentence?
