Commonly asked questions
Q:   What is the syllabus & exam pattern of the ACLAT? What should my preparation strategy be?
A: 
1. Language Proficiency - Brush up your Basic English and comprehension to prepare for this section. 2. General Awareness - This is a very wide category and covers a lot of topics, including Science and basic history, geography. It will also include general knowledge (both static and current). It is advisable to pick a guide for general knowledge and go through it. 3. Legal Aptitude - Legal Aptitude - Will include some landmark judgments, basic provisions of the Constitution, important provisions of some Acts like Contract Act, Transfer of Property Act, etc. 4. Logical Reasoning and Analytical Ability - Practice makes perfect, especially for this section. 5. Numerical Ability - Brush up basic math till class 10th. That should be sufficient. This are does not carry a lot of weight so care should be taken not to spend a lot of time on it if the questions seem difficult. Preparation: Pick up universal Guide to LL.B. And prepare from it, cover to cover. Once you are through with that, you can pick up other books focusing on separate areas to hone them better.
