Month 1

Start your preparation strong by creating a well-structured plan. Set clear study goals and create a study schedule that suits your needs. Gather the necessary study materials, such as textbooks, online resources, and previous year’s question papers. 

Familiarize yourself with the CLAT exam pattern and syllabus. Focus on building a strong foundation in all the sections of the exam.

Month 2

Dive into the General Knowledge (GK) and Legal Aptitude sections. For GK, focus on topics like history, science, UN, and international organizations. Read newspapers, magazines, and online resources to stay updated with current affairs. 

For Legal Aptitude, familiarize yourself with legal jargon, legal maxims, the law of tort, and other relevant concepts. Solve practice questions and quizzes to strengthen your understanding.

Month 3

Shift your focus to the Mathematics, Verbal Ability, and Logical Reasoning sections. Brush up on basic math concepts such as arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Practice solving problems related to age, ratio and proportion, speed, distance, and time. 

Enhance your verbal ability skills by working on reading comprehension, basic grammar, vocabulary, and direct/indirect speech. Develop your logical reasoning skills by solving questions related to blood relations, analogies, direction problems, logical puzzles, inference, and judgment.

Month 4

Consolidate your knowledge in the previously studied sections while continuing with Math, Verbal Ability, and Logical Reasoning. Regularly revise the GK topics and legal concepts to reinforce your understanding. 

Practice solving various questions from each section to enhance your speed and accuracy. Take note of your weak areas and improve them through focused practice.

Month 5

Begin the revision process by solving mock tests regularly. This will help you assess your progress, identify improvement areas, and familiarise yourself with the exam format. Analyze your performance in the mock tests to understand your strengths and weaknesses. 

Allocate time for revising the GK and Legal Aptitude section, and ensure you memorized important math formulas. Focus on time management and develop strategies to handle different question types effectively.

Month 6

In the final month, devote ample time to practising mock tests intensively. Aim to attempt at least two mock tests daily to build your speed and accuracy. Analyze your performance in each test, identify areas where you struggle, and put extra effort into improving them. 

Focus on improving your weak areas by revisiting relevant concepts and practising targeted exercises. Stay motivated, maintain a positive mindset, and care for your physical and mental well-being during this crucial period.
