When is the best time to take the mock exams in relation to the K&B book?

Should we first read the whole k&B book and be proficient with all the questions in the book and THEN start taking the mock exams?

Or should we do both as we go?

Most of the mock exams are not separated by topics.

I would say complete the book once. If you go for mock exams before that, you'll get questions on topics you haven't studies yet. So you'll get a very low score. Also when you've read the topic and you give the mock exam again, you might remember some of the answers so you won't get a fair assessment of where you stand...

I agree. Read the book at least once all though before starting any mocks. When you've done a few mocks, read the book again (it will read much faster the second time). Then do more mocks and finish off with the big ones (MasterExam, ExamLab, ...) If you get 60+ avg on ExamLab in your first time through, you should be ready for the exam.

I will suggest you to study the book atleast once and then go throgh the mock exam and after seeing the result of mock exam
Investigate where you are weak,then concentrate more on those topic and give the second practice exam.
Then repeat the process for each exam.

I assure you will get good marks in the exam.
