It is advisable to study for 8 to 10 hours a day and cover all important topics from each section. They should also practise past years' CLAT question papers to understand type of questions asked and improve their problem-solving skills.

While preparing, start with topics they find easier and are more confident about. This will help build confidence and maintain motivation before moving on to more difficult topics. Try to study at least three sections every day and divide time as per difficulty level of each subject. Make sure to spend at least two hours on each section for better preparation.

CLAT Preparation Strategy for Month 1 (next 10 to 15 days): Once candidates have completed entire CLAT syllabus, in remaining 10 to15 days should be devoted towards thorough revision of topics already studied.

Q:   How to prepare GK for CLAT?
A: 
Hi Paras, The strategy for the GA portion is: Current Affairs: The Hindu Newspaper + Daily current affairs through any good online website (bankers adda, Mrunal, Insight, etc.). Also, focus on business, sports, international, national, etc. news Static GK: A basic knowledge of History, Geography and Sciences will suffice.Try to focus more on Indian history. The world history questions are rarely asked. In geography, the emphasis should be laid on world and Indian geography. For science, please focus more on the day to day general science questions. Also, give due weightage to Inventors, discoveries and past Nobel prize winners etc.
Q:   What is a bad rank in CLAT?
A: 

A bad rank in CLAT is relative and depends on factors like your category, the NLUs you target, and overall competition. For general category candidates, ranks above 15,000 to 20,000 are typically considered weak, reducing chances of admission into top or even mid-tier National Law Universities. For reserved categories, the threshold might be higher, but still, a rank significantly above the cutoff range may be viewed unfavorably. Ultimately, a "bad rank" hampers your chances of securing a coveted seat and may force you to consider alternative law schools or reattempt the exam in subsequent years. Improving your score remains essential.

Q:   Is CLAT exam tough for an average student?
A: 

Yes, it is tough for an average student. However, with good strategy and study plan cracking CLAT exam is not tough. 

CLAT 2027 Preparation Strategy for Month 2

Second month of CLAT 2027 preparation should focus on revision and regular practice. Candidates should solve as many previous years' question papers, sample papers as possible. This will help them become familiar with exam pattern. While attempting mock tests and CLAT question papers, always complete them within two-hour time limit. After each test, carefully analyse your performance instead of only checking score. Identify your strengths and weaknesses, note topics where you made mistakes and spend more time improving those areas. Regular revision and proper analysis of mock tests are important to performing well in CLAT.

No, it is not that easy since it comprises 20% of total marks, skipping it makes clearing overall cut-off impossible.

Neither online coaching nor classroom coaching is better than the other; in any case, it all depends on your discipline and timing. Online coaching will save you time from travelling through Lucknow, whereas classroom coaching gives you discipline and instant solutions to your doubts.
