In Matangai Primary School, pupils have already concluded their mock examination.
Aguech Manyang Aguech said the tests that started last Wednesday were aimed at preparing the candidates for the State exams.
He added that the mock examination will also be used to identify the areas where pupils need more input from teachers in the remaining days.
Helena Adol, a candidate attending Matangai primary school, said the mock examination was not difficult except for the Maths paper.
She decried lack of enough time for studies due to domestic chores, urging parents to give candidates enough time to prepare for exams.
This is the final examination that primary eight pupils in Lake State will sit for before joining Secondary school early next year.
