CLAT

CLAT Quantitative Techniques Questions include Class 10 basic math topics. However, unlike normal questions, CLAT Math Questions are provided in passages, charts, graphs or caselets from which data is to be extracted before solving any question.

In order to enhance one's mathematical abilities for CLAT's Quantitative Techniques test, students need to give more emphasis to practising Class 9 & 10-level arithmetic and DI problems than any kind of complex formulas. Some key areas where you should focus include percentages, ratios, averages, and profit & loss.

The most comprehensive book for Quantitative Techniques (maths) for CLAT would be Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations by R.S. Aggarwal. In terms of speed and tricks for data interpretation, two other great books to refer to are Fast Track Objective Arithmetic by Rajesh Verma and Data Interpretation by R.S. Aggarwal.

The optimal period when one should begin preparation for Quantitative Techniques (Maths) for CLAT would be 4 to 6 months prior to the exam date, with an ideal time of 30 to 45 minutes per day set aside for the preparation.

Technically, you could crack CLAT without studying maths, but not studying maths at all will lower your probability of securing admission in one of the NLUs. There isn't any sectional cutoff for any subject in the CLAT, but the Quantitative Techniques (maths) section accounts for around 10% of the total weightage in the CLAT (i.e., 12-15 marks). Due to the fact that CLAT is very competitive and even 1 mark might move your position on the list by hundreds, neglecting maths altogether leaves you with no room for mistakes in other sections.

Around 28 to 32 questions are expected to be asked from General Knowledge in CLAT.

CLAT General Knowledge section will consist of questions focused on Current Affairs, Static GK, Legal and Constitutional Developments and high-profile awards and sporting events

Candidates are advised to read daily newspapers to stay updated with current affairs. General Knowledge for CLAT can be improved by practicing sample papers.

To prepare for CLAT General Knowledge, candidates will have to refer to Lucent's General Knowledge for Static GK, Manorama Yearbook for national and international overviews. They are also advised to read daily newspapers for current affairs.
