The following techniques will help enhance your CLAT exam preparation and score good marks in the upcoming exam.

• Instead of making a timetable for 7-8 hours a day, creating a task table that includes 5 to 7 tasks a day is always recommended.
• Please write it down what to study each day, as it will help you not miss out on any topic. 
• Be specific: Don't just write the subject's name to study on a particular day. Instead, try to write down the subject name followed by the topic name, book name, and page number. Suppose you are preparing from the LegalEdge's study material; write down the assignment numbers.

Remember, even if you cannot complete all the tasks listed by you by the end of the day, don't get demotivated. It is okay even if you do not finish all the listed tasks.

Just try to find out the task list you have completed until that time is covered entirely or not.
