Once upon a time, I was also a Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) aspirant like you. Although I had started my preparation after my board examination, my right strategy gave me success in top National Law University in Odisha in 2017.
However, due to poor health conditions, I had to give another attempt and I ended up securing a place in Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) in 2018. Yet again my destiny took me somewhere else, I am right now pursuing BCom final year from Ram Krishna Dharmarth Foundation, Bhopal.

Belief in yourself: Stay positive till your final examination. You will have to believe in yourself that you can do it, & have faith in yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others & focus more on your performance & start your day with 30-minute meditation it will keep your mind fresh.
Less is more: If you go to the market you will find a lot of things study materials which are available. Spend 10-15 days and finalise your study material but once you will decide, don’t change it at any cost. Do not buy 10 books it’s better to read two but with honesty.

Mock Test: From day 1, I started giving mock tests. Analysis of mock is important which most of the aspirants fail to do. Keep in mind if you are giving a mock of 120 minutes then at least try to spend 60 minutes on analysis because it is important to understand where you are lacking.
