Tip 2: NO New Topics

Trying to learn new topics right before the examination can lead to overwhelming stress and pressure. Stick to what has already been covered instead of starting new topics.

Tip 3: Revise, Revise and Revise

In continuation to the previous point, utilise your time in revising and recapping wat you have already covered before. This will help you strengthen your preparation by reducing your chances of making mistakes.

Tip 4: Mind your Time Management

The 2 hour long examination, for 120 marks, will have 120 MCQs to solve. Hence, students must plan their time management for each section accordingly. For example, if you dedicate 30 minutes on the English Language section, you would have only 90 minutes left to attempt the remaining 4 sections.

Tip 5: Attempt Mock Tests

The best way to analyse your own preparation is by giving mock tests. Students can attempt to solve the official sample papers by the Consortium, provided on its official learning platform, for registered candidates of CLAT examination. By attempting these sample papers and mock tests, you will also be able to figure out the apt time management system for yourself.

Tip 6: Strength and Weaknesses

Once you start to attempt sample papers and revise the syllabus, you would notice that while you are strong in some areas, you are also weak in certain areas. To make the best use of your time and resources, you just focus on strengthening your strong points to not lose any marks in such areas. At the same time. You must also play smart about your weaknesses and pay special attention to revising it.

Tip 7: Beware of Negative Marking

For each wrong answer in the CLAT examination, 0.25 marks will be deducted from your total score. 

For example, if you give 100 correct answers and 20 incorrect answers, you will score 100 for the correct responses but 5 marks (0.25*4) will be deducted. Therefore, your total would be 100-5= 95 marks.

Hence, you must ensure that you are not guessing your answers blindly.

Bonus Tip: Sleep Well

Optimum sleep is the secret to enhanced cognitive performance. Ensure that you are getting good quality of sleep for 7 to 8 hours every night. This will help you give your best performance in the exam with focus and mindfulness.
