1. Set a Goal

- Prepare for each subject for 1 hour a day, which will give 5 hours a day for overall preparation
- Take one subject mock test per day, which makes 5 mock tests in a week covering all subjects
- Cover 2 topics from each subject on daily basis
2. Analyse the Preparation so far
Obviously, preparation has been going on for many of you for SLAT. If yes, then analyse the preparation done. If you have covered the entire syllabus already, then these two months must go into revision, practice and revision again.

Candidates who have not yet completed the syllabus must focus on completing the important topics first in October. November month can be used in revision and practice.
Analyse the syllabus and mark what topics are tough for you and what is the easiest. Know the section you face the most difficulty in solving and have most of the doubts in. Such topics must be weighed.
The Symbiosis Law Admission Test authority does not provide subtle details about the SLAT syllabus. Thus, the syllabus for SLAT cannot be specified accurately. The exam authority only shares the details associated with the sections related to the SLAT question paper, which are Analytical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, General English, and General Knowledge. Thus, candidates only study to prepare for relevant sections along with mathematics (of level up to Class 10) and current affairs to prepare for SLAT.
All Symbiosis Law Schools are equally good in terms of the quality of law education. Thus, after getting a good score in the SLAT candidates can get admission to any of the four Law Schools of Symbiosis International (Deemed University). Getting admission to an SLS depends on the cutoff marks decided by it. Thus, if a candidate wants to get admission to a Symbiosis Law School, he or she needs a SLAT score equal to or more than its cutoff. Generally, 65% marks in the SLAT are a good score to get admission to an SLS.

4. Examine Yourself
This is very important. Your preparation can be pointless if you do not analyse it. You need to know if the topics you have prepared are ready to be attempted on the exam day. You need to know how much time you are taking in solving a question from a particular topic and what is the accuracy. If the time and accuracy are not up to the mark then your preparation is not exam day appropriate.
To solve this dilemma, solve a lot of mock tests and solve as many previous year papers as you can.
