Short Tricks to Prepare for CLAT Exam 2024 in 4 Months

The Common Law Admission Test is one of the most competitive law entrance exams, with approximately 70,000 students competing yearly to secure admission to 26 National Law Universities.

It might be frightening to compete with all these aspirants to secure a seat in NLU. However, if you are committed and dedicated to your goal, cracking the exam is not a big challenge!

The following are some of the tips that will help help you better understand how to crack the CLAT Exam on the first attempt in 4 months.

Focus on Limited Study Material

You don’t have to search or study from every available study material. You should have limited study material, for example: for critical reasoning subject study from 1 book which has all the information and all types of questions related to critical reasoning.

With the internet at your disposal, you tend to look at every source of information or material as a cure to the fear of missing out on potentially helpful material. You end up hoarding material that you either never solve, and it piles onto your anxious mind, or you solve it without having a meaningful impact through analysis.

Study material does not mean only books. Study material includes all educational sources like books, youtube channels, coaching institute notes, etc. So, study from one or two sources only for the CLAT 2024 and study with full dedication and focus on achieving your goal easily.
