Turn to News Papers, turn to Legal section and learn the jargons and try to learn the meaning and where they can be used. Because the highest qualification required for CLAT is 12th, it is understood that you come with zero legal knowledge and so the questions wouldn't be that tough. You may be asked questions on fact basis to test your legal reasoning. Law of Tort, Law of Contracts, Criminal Law, Constitutional law, Intellectual property law, Labour law, International law and family law are few subjects you should familiarize yourself with.  Get a gist of these laws and you will be fine. Practise as many as sample papers as you can. Few of them can be accessed at: https://law.careers360.com/download/clat-sample-papers-previous-years
