Whoa… It’s great that you have decided to make some legal footprints on the planet. Law is an age-old profession that has gone through sweeping changes over its course. Before embarking on a voyage to high seas of law and be a catalytic tide for societal change, you need to crack on of the toughest examination of the land, CLAT - Common Legal Admission Test. Try these 4 tricks that help you to stem the tide and sail through the turbulent waters of CLAT Tip 1 - Understand the test pattern The first tip is to understand and realize what CLAT is all about. What is the test pattern, what are the sections, and are you aware of such sections before or is this something new for you? To test the waters, you can go through the previous papers and get a clear idea of what the test is all about. You can invest a few days in the process of skimming through the questions to get a better grip. As there are slight changes in every CLAT paper, go through at least 3-year papers to sink into the pattern. Take a scratch paper and divide it into columns and the tech-savvy ones can use spreadsheets and put different types of questions under different heads - English, Maths, General Awareness, Legal Aptitude, Logical Reasoning. To the end, it gives a clear picture of the type of questions and what are the skills required to answer them. This activity is to ensure that you are really up for the voyage through the legal seas. Tip 2 - Self-study vs Coaching The second tip is to weigh all your options based on the test. It also depends on how much time is left for preparation. Some decide early and some take time to start it. So, it depends on when is the test and when have you started your prep. If you are motivated enough and have the drive to wake up early or burn the midnight oil, then you can go for self-study and prepare a strict routine. You can collect all the necessary books and also take help from online resources, and start with your preparation. If you feel you need more guidance as you are not able to figure out the examination pattern and level of difficulty of the questions, and on the whole, what to study to get through, then join any institute that offers good coaching for the test. Tip 3 - Manage your strengths and weakness The next tip is to identify your strengths and weaknesses and spin a good prep plan around it. If you are from Math background, Numerical ability and logical reasoning sections may look good you. On the contrary, if you are from Humanities, General Awareness or English may be your piece of cake. The trick here is to capitalize on your strengths and try to maximize your score there. Also, don’t neglect your weak areas as the overall score matters a lot. There can be many unfavorable scenarios during your preparation. You tend to lose hope on how things are panning out. Always, remember that on the test there is one core area, which is your strength. There is also a catch here. Don’t overdo your favorite section to the tune that you miss out on others. Avoid emotional attachment with sections and questions on the test. Tip 4 - Practice Tests The last tip is the pivotal part of your whole preparation process. As they say, practice makes you perfect, it comes handy to ease out all the stressful situations on the test day. While taking practice tests, focus on time management. What is the average time allocated per question and how much time are you taking per question. Time management and selection of questions go hand in hand. In every test, the questions fall under three levels of difficulty - easy, moderate, and difficult. As a test taker, you should have the knack to identify all the easy and moderate level questions and solve them at the first go. Then based on the available time, you can spread it across the difficult questions.
