Prep Notes
If you made any notes during the past few months, then use it to revise each topic. For subjects like Current Affairs including General Knowledge, Quantitative Techniques, and Legal Reasoning, using preparation notes is more effective. The purpose of short notes in CLAT last week preparation is to save you from detailed syllabus, and only focus on the important topics.
Question/ Sample Papers
For CLAT one week preparation, candidates should also practice CLAT question papers and sample papers alongside revision. Solving the CLAT papers and later analysing them helps you identify your strong and weak areas for the exam. In addition, it helps improve speed and accuracy, which is important to ace the law entrance exam. You should try to attempt at least two CLAT sample papers/question papers every day during this last week. Apart from this, CLAT mock test series to practice for the eaxm are also effective to help you gain familiarity with the real time examination.
Work on Your Weaknesses
As you practice CLAT question paper, sample papers, or CLAT mock test 2025, try to analyse your preparation. Make a list of topics that are important but tough. Then, in the remaining time, work to improve on these topics. This will help you turn your weakness into strengths. It is important to avoid the negative marking in the examination. Remember there is negative marking for wrong attempts only. If you know a topic, then prepare it sufficiently or just leave it.
Refrain from New Topics
It is better to prepare only important topics from CLAT syllabus than the detailed syllabus. The reason being any new topic will raise more doubts, and in the last one week for CLAT, you should avoid it. Infact, to be confident for the exam day, stick to what you already know and keep revising and practicing.
Keep Calm & Be Confident
To perform better during the CLAT exam, it is important that trust your preparation, and be optimistic. Remember, self-doubts can result in poor performance on the exam day. In the remaining days, take good care of yourself, hydrate sufficiently, and be ready for the exam day.
CLAT Exam Day Documents

Many students feel the AILET exam is a bit tougher than CLAT because it has fewer seats and high competition. The AILET syllabus focuses more on reasoning and legal aptitude. Both tests need good preparation, but AILET 2027 usually has a higher cutoff for AILET colleges under NLU Delhi.
