Why we show you the solution, not just the score

Most platforms hand you a score and a report, then stop. We think that is exactly where the learning should begin.

A score tells you where you stand. It does not tell you why — or, more useful still, what to do next. A page of percentages can leave you staring at a wrong answer with no idea how the right one was reached. That gap is where a lot of preparation quietly stalls.

So on EduPeak the mock test is only half of what you get. After you finish a paper, you can open a full worked solution for each question: the right method, step by step, with a diagram wherever one helps. Here is a real one, from a recent JEE Main paper.

A real worked solution

Question (JEE Main 2026). An equilateral triangle OABOAB is inscribed in the parabola y2=4xy^2 = 4x, with the vertex OO at the origin. Find the shortest distance from the origin to the circle that has ABAB as a diameter.

Worked-solution figure: the parabola, the inscribed equilateral triangle, and the circle on AB as a diameter

The method.

  1. A point on the parabola can be written (t2, 2t)(t^2,\ 2t). By symmetry about the axis, B=(t2, 2t)B = (t^2,\ -2t).
  2. For OABOAB to be equilateral, OAOA makes 3030^\circ with the axis, so 2tt2=2t=tan30=13\frac{2t}{t^2} = \frac{2}{t} = \tan 30^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, which gives t=23t = 2\sqrt{3}.
  3. Then A=(12, 43)A = (12,\ 4\sqrt{3}) and B=(12, 43)B = (12,\ -4\sqrt{3}), so the circle's centre is C=(12, 0)C = (12,\ 0) and its radius is R=43R = 4\sqrt{3}.
  4. The shortest distance from the origin to the circle is OCR=1243=4(33)OC - R = 12 - 4\sqrt{3} = 4\left(3 - \sqrt{3}\right).

Where students slip: many reach the centre at distance 1212 and stop there. But the question asks for the distance to the circle, so you subtract the radius. One small step, easy to miss under time pressure — and once you have seen it, you catch it every time.

Why a solution beats a score

When you read a clear solution, you can see exactly where your own thinking turned: the step you skipped, the assumption that did not hold. A solution is not there to make you feel caught out. It is there so the next attempt is sharper than the last.

And there is one part we take most seriously. A solution is only worth showing if it is correct — so every solution, and every figure inside it, is checked against the original question paper before it reaches you. The example above was checked the same way.

We are a young company, and we will get some things wrong. When we do, please tell us — we read every message.

Thank you for being here at the start. There is a long climb ahead, and we are glad to be walking part of it with you.

Wishing you a steady, confident climb.
