Hello Aspirant,

CLAT 2022 Preparation Plan

General Guidelines

Know the marking scheme:

It is imperative that you know the marking scheme. You have to score marks to qualify the exam and you need to know what kind of approach will fetch you marks to eventually crack the exam.

Practice and analyze:

Once the fundamentals are clear in the classroom it becomes imperative that a practice test on the same topic is written that very day to reinforce the concept. Timed tests on 2/3 topics/ sections written every day and analyzed thereafter are enough to tame the CLAT exam.

Practicing mock tests and previous year question papers

It is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Candidates preparing for the exam should write as many mock tests and possible. These not only give you an idea about the type of question asked in the CLAT exam but also ensures that you stay relatively calm and confident on the day of the actual exam you.

Investing in good and reliable study material

Books are the holy grail of success. It is delusional to believe that the right schedule and practicing mock test alone will not help you to excel CLAT 2022. You need good books and reliable study material to qualify for the exam. This study material can also be online. With the rise in digitalization, it is only fit to refer to study material on the internet as well. All that a candidate needs is a reliable source of information.
