Comment of mock editor (xEmerqld)

In this mock, if you got 5** , well done. You are familiarize with the basic concepts in each topics,
you can do the mocks with time limit.

If you got Level 4 or above , not bad ~ You can try to do the mocks with time limit, however you
should take a look on the topics which you still don’t understand.

If you got Level 3 or below , I strongly suggest you to do some extra by topic exercises before
doing the real mock, try to do the mocks with time limit when you feel ok with the topics that you
don’t really understand before
