Don’t procrastinate
One habit most candidates have is to delay their plan considering what difference a day will make. This is what separates a topper from the rest. Understand there is no tomorrow. One must start right now. CLAT is a competitive exam with 55,000 students appearing for just 3,000 seats. Every second of preparation counts.
Understand the syllabus and pattern
This is one problem which majority do not address. Understanding the pattern is very important. It helps you know what exactly I need to focus upon. CLAT has a changed pattern now and it’s different from other law entrances for the skill sets it tests now. Understanding the syllabus will help you on picking the right topics and devote your time purposefully.
Design a timetable
Making a timetable is what most students love. But the question is: do you intend to follow the same? All one needs is a plan which is well defined with daily goals one wishes to achieve. This will help to understand the next move. Your plan must have a focus on reading newspapers, making notes on important topics, practicing passages every day. A good 3-4 hour plan which ensures you cover 2-3 topics every day is a must. Write mocks test every week. Spend time to analyse your performance.

Mock Tests
A mock not only helps in understanding the strength, weaknesses, and level of preparedness, it also helps in giving a clear idea about what to expect and what is the likely pattern of the exam. It helps you plan each of the sections better and the time management is required for each of the sections based on the importance it holds in the paper. Starting with a mock test will help understand what is the level one needs to achieve based on one’s current standing.
Preparing for the exam in the last months can be tiring especially when one also has to focus on class 12 board exams. But with proper and meticulous planning one can achieve the goal. While CLAT may seem to be a difficult exam, it’s not. Self believe is very important. Keep calm, take breaks and ensure you do not lose your focus.
