Tips for time management in CLAT 2027
Here are some important tips to improve time management for CLAT exam.
First, decide how much time they should give to each section. Some candidates are better at Logical Reasoning and others perform well in General Knowledge and Current Affairs. Since CLAT exam has mostly passage-based questions, good reading and comprehension skills are very important.
-
To improve this, candidates should read passages regularly and practice understanding them quickly
-
They should also work on building vocabulary to read faster and understand better
-
Along with this, revise important grammar topics from CLAT syllabus
-
Practicing these areas will help improve performance in all five sections of CLAT question paper

Keep practising: When there are only a few days left for exam, candidates should keep practising for CLAT to score well. Candidates need to practice as many mock tests for CLAT as possible.
- There are many additional resources provided to candidates in their CLAT account that will be useful in remaining days
- Practice only for duration of two hours
- CLAT mock tests are timed accordingly, so that candidates can manage to solve questions on time
Allocate time based on section weightage: Plan exam time according to number of questions in each section of CLAT 2027
-
Current Affairs and Legal Reasoning carry about 35 to 39 questions, so give them more focus
-
English and Logical Reasoning include around 28 to 32 questions each
-
Quantitative Techniques has about 13 to 17 questions, so it needs comparatively less time
-
Adjust time plan based on both section weightage and personal strengths and weaknesses
Analyse past year papers - Every year number of questions asked in each section is expected to be different. So, candidates can only assume actual weightage in CLAT question paper. Check past three years' weightage for CLAT question papers
