CLAT Tips & Tricks
- As we all know CLAT is an online exam for which the most important thing you should know is how to manage time well and accordingly so that you end up solving a maximum number of questions.
- Focus on all the important subjects mentioned above but most importantly on the one in which you have great command.
- Try solving the easier questions first and then move on to the harder ones in the Mathematics and Logical Reasoning which is time taking and consists only 60 marks whereas the other sections such as GK or English constitute 100 marks.
- It becomes quite hard for the students to crack the legal section in the paper since these subjects are not being taught in their schools, so it is better that you restrict yourself from focusing deeper into these questions rather you must focus on the fundamental doctrines on which laws have been framed, plus you must be wise enough to apply your logical skills and that can only be only achieved as much as you practice.
- Make sure that you are in a daily habit of reading newspapers and be aware of the news updates from all parts of the world and must focus on sections like sports, science and literature, etc.
- Try attempting as many as mock tests possible, this helps you managing time efficiently and also helps you prepare better for the exams.
- Make sure that you focus on the vocabulary section well and solve all the unseen passages from as many books possible since the English section is quite easier to score.
- Try solving all the mathematics books from 6th-8th class especially and keep solving them on a regular basis.
- Lastly, avoid solving questions which you are not sure about since every wrong answer gets you a deduction of 0.25 marks.
