Know thy syllabus: The first step begins with knowing the complete syllabus by heart. Before you begin your preparation, you must go through the complete CLAT syllabus to get an idea about the topics, the questions from which will be asked in the examination. After analyzing the syllabus, jot down your weak topics and the ones you are good at in a separate notebook. Always cover the basic concepts first and then eventually move to the advanced topics. Make sure that you follow a practical time table and achieve your daily goals without procrastination.

Mugging up the topics: A lot of students have this great misconception embedded in their minds that mugging up certain things will give them positive results. This might work for some candidates but on a serious note you should avoid mugging up the topics just for the sake of exam.  Know the logic behind a concept and clear the doubts with your teachers, parents, and friends. It is equally important to have a clear mind when you’re studying.

Importance of maintaining consistency: One of the main reason why candidates lose their momentum while studying for the exam is that they grow impatient and get trapped between all sorts of nonsense happening around them in form of distractions. To qualify the CLAT exam, you should maintain the pace at which you’re studying. Even if due to any reason you are not able to finish a topic then you must complete it the next day so that your study plan is not affected in the least. Maintaining consistency should always be in your mind whenever you feel that you’re getting distracted.
