A mock test is a diagnosis, not a grade.
Most aspirants read one number off a mock and move on. The number is the least useful thing on the page: it tells you where you are, and nothing at all about why. The split behind it — what you solved, what you handed back, and to which of four or five distinct causes — is the part that decides what next week is for.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
JEE Mock Test Analysis questions
How long should JEE mock test analysis take?
Around thirty minutes for a full paper, and it is the highest-value half hour in the week. If it is taking three hours you are re-solving the paper rather than analysing it — the goal is to classify what went wrong, not to produce a clean solution for every question.
What should I actually look at after a JEE mock test?
Four things, in order: marks lost to negative marking on questions you guessed, marks lost to slips on questions you knew, marks lost to misreading the question, and marks lost to chapters you genuinely have not got. Only the last of those is a syllabus problem, and for most aspirants it is the smallest of the four.
Should I analyse every mock test or only the bad ones?
Every one, and the good ones are more informative than they look. A high score with four lucky guesses in it is hiding four weak areas that will cost you marks the next time the same concepts come up with different numbers.
How many JEE mock tests should I take a week?
One full paper a week is plenty if each one is analysed properly, and two a week is usually worse than one — because the analysis is what changes your score, and nobody analyses two papers properly in seven days alongside the syllabus.
