Tips to Score 42 Marks in CLAT 2021 Exam

Harsh mentions that reading is the key to score 42 marks in the CLAT since the question paper consists of comprehensive questions. Also, you have to be a speedy reader to analyze the meaning of comprehension and derive answers.

The primary focus of the CLAT exam will be English, Legal Aptitude, and GK. However, if you need to get a good rank you need to brush up your mathematics to score well in this section.

Before starting the preparation, it is important to list out the topics from each subject in which you are strong and weak separately. Make sure to allocate at least 1-2 hours of time for preparing each subject a day.

Solve CLAT Question Papers on a weekly basis to improve your time management skills and problem-solving skills.

You must make sure to manage time and dictate yourself in improving your English vocabulary to the best of your capability.

How to Score 42+ Marks in CLAT Legal Aptitude Section?

"Stick to the Principle" is the Golden Rule. Take the Principle as law. Read the facts carefully. Apply the facts on the Principles and draw out your best answer. This will apply to 80% of the questions. Only some of the questions would be there where you have to go out of the Principle, Harsh said.

While answering any question, try to match the language of that option with the language of the Principle. If it is matchable, then there is a high chance your answer is correct. And if it is not matchable, then it is not correct. Apply this cheat code while attempting all the questions of Legal Aptitude.

 Whenever you give Mock Tests, always go back to the questions you got wrong. Check them why they went wrong, what mistake you made. Finally, understand that mistake and correct it.

While answering assertion reason questions, read the question carefully. If the Assertion itself is wrong then your answer would be A is False and R is true. Then read the Reason, if the reason is wrong then the answer would be A is True and R is False. If both Assertion, as well as the Reason, is correct then the answer would still be from A or B. Do a little trick here.

You have to concentrate on a List of all the Prominent Judgements, study all the recent bills passed by a parliament or in case they are about to be passed and recent appointments in law commission or election commission or change in any other authoritative.
