Preparation Tips
- 1Read quality newspapers and editorials daily to build reading speed, comprehension, and current affairs awareness — this directly helps 3 out of 5 CLAT sections.
- 2Practice at least 25–30 full-length CLAT mock tests in the last 4 months, with detailed post-test analysis of every wrong answer.
- 3For Legal Reasoning, focus on applying given principles logically rather than memorising laws — the CLAT format is principle-application, not legal knowledge.
- 4Quantitative Techniques needs only Class 10-level maths — master percentages, ratios, and data interpretation to lock in those 10–14 marks efficiently.
