Reader's Digest: You name it; we solve it! Read this blog post to learn what the daily routine of CLAT 2024 aspirants should look like. Get insights into the daily, monthly, and yearly task table for CLAT 2024 and more. 

Due to the increasing competition, it might be difficult for most of you to prepare for the CLAT exam. However, it is easy to crack the exam by following a well-structured study plan for CLAT.

Following a single task table that will help you achieve good results is a myth because every aspirant's preparation strategy is different.

You will have weak and strong areas, and your preparation strategies may vary. Hence, we recommend you prepare your task table based on the following factors:

• Amount of syllabus left
• Status of revision
• Weak areas (based on your mock performance)
• Targets to be met (if you are aiming for AIR below 10, your task table looks completely different)
• Study capacity (based on your ability to study for long hours)

An extremely important part of preparing for a competitive exam is figuring out how to prepare and attempt the examination you are sitting for. This video on CLAT 2024 strategy is a must-watch for all CLAT 2024 students.

Best Short Tricks to Make the Best Study Schedule for CLAT 2024

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

1. Create a Task Table: Instead of a traditional timetable, choose a table with 5 to 7 daily tasks. This allows for more flexibility and focuses on completing specific tasks rather than fixed study hours.
2. Be Specific: When planning your daily study tasks, specify what you must study. Instead of just writing the subject's name, mention the topic, book name, and page number. For example, "Constitutional Law: Fundamental Rights, Book: XYZ, Pages 50-70."
3. Include Assignments or Practice Questions: Incorporate assignments or practice questions in your daily study plan. If you use a specific study material like LegalEdge, mention the assignment numbers to complete. This ensures active engagement with the subject matter.
4. Strike Out Completed Tasks: After completing each topic or assignment, remove it from your task list. This simple action provides a sense of accomplishment, motivates you to continue, and builds confidence as you see progress.
5. Be Realistic: Make a rational list that you can realistically complete. Avoid overburdening yourself with an unrealistic number of tasks. Aim to complete at least 75 to 80% of the tasks on your list to maintain consistency and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

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 whether the task list you have completed until that time is covered entirely or not.
