CLAT 2024 Preparation: Mastering the final day with crucial tips

Here is a comprehensive guide to maximise your last-moment preparation for CLAT.

Recap and revise: Start the day with a comprehensive recap of all the sections already covered during CLAT preparation. Focus on core areas like English, general knowledge, legal aptitude, logical reasoning and mathematics while utilising concise notes and summaries for quick revision.

Legal aptitude and reasoning drills: Allocate an hour or two to practice legal reasoning questions and logical deductions by solving previous years’ question papers to reinforce your understanding of concepts.

Don’t focus too much on weaknesses: Shift your attention away from weak areas; instead, focus on enhancing the strengths. Avoid dedicating extensive time to improving weak areas because last-minute preparation isn’t suitable for such focus.

Stay updated with current affairs: On the final day, stay updated about recent current affairs, landmark verdicts, and legal developments.

Strategic reading: Do a quick strategic reading of newspapers and editorials to stay updated with current affairs. Focus on sections that are relevant for CLAT, such as legal news, political developments, and international affairs.

Refine time management: Do a final practice of answering questions within the specified time limits. Make a mindset to swiftly move on from challenging questions to optimise your overall attempt.

Be mindful: Prioritise your well-being by maintaining a healthy lifestyle by getting adequate sleep, nutrition, and meditation in the last 24 hours before the exam. These habits are important to stay focused and calm during the exam.

Pro Tip: Always trust the process throughout the journey.
