Don’t wait to make your foundation “perfect” before joining — because that “perfect” base often never comes without answer writing pressure. Even if you’re able to attempt only 40-60% initially, the feedback and discussions add immense value.
The real advantage of writing tests: It breaks the inertia of answer writing. Model answers and peer copies show you how to structure even when content is average. Regular evaluation catches your specific weaknesses early (content, intro-conclusion, balance, etc.).
