This article is meant
for two types of CLAT aspirants
·
Those guys who have dropped and are
preparing for CLAT.
·
Those guys who are in the low tier
colleges and are preparing for CLAT.
Always remember, just because you couldn’t clear the
exam once, doesn’t mean you don’t have the potential to do it. CLAT is an exam
where you have to work hard, work smart and do that on a regular basis to
succeed. We recommend you to create a free account on Bulls Eye. Here you will get a bunch of CLAT Mock Test which will help you to boost your confidence.
1. Find out where you went wrong
Analyze
your previous performance and think where you went wrong. Make a detailed list
of your strengths and weaknesses. Plan accordingly and work upon your
weaknesses and capitalize on your strengths. Remember, this time you won’t have
the extra pressure of school, or worry about your boards. Make a suitable and
realistic plan that should work well for you. For those of you who have to
attend college as well, follow the “Divide
and rule policy”. Divide your work load between your College and your CLAT
Preparation. Make a plan that suits your needs and you will be fine. However,
devote maximum time for your preparation.
2. Chill out a Bit- You still have a
year
“All
work and no play makes Jack a dull Boy”.
There is a reason we’re taught this proverb in our elementary classes.
Just because you couldn’t get into a college of your dreams, doesn’t mean that
you have to study for 12 hours a day. Enjoy your preparation because that way
you won’t stress yourself out. After all, your preparation shouldn’t just be
about getting into a College, it should make you a more knowledgeable person.
Watch
all those movies that you always wanted to from a long time back. Catch up on
those shows that you missed. Write articles on your blog, that you had
forgotten about during your preparation. Do whatever you couldn’t the last time
because you were burdened by the Boards and CLAT. Lastly, but most importantly
read all the books that you wanted to read and note down the words that made
you pick up the dictionary.
3. Subject-wise preparatory tips
Mathematics-
Practice at least 10 questions daily. Try and follow the short cuts and
techniques. Get a strong hold over the topics, because even though this topic
constitutes the least number of questions in the paper, questions asked are the
easiest. Practice as many questions as you can, so that you get an exposure to
all sorts of areas.
English- Finish
“Word Power Made Easy-Norman Lewis” and “English Grammar and Composition-Wren
and Martin” and you will be done with the two most important areas of English
i.e. Vocabulary and Grammar. Read almost every book that you can lay your hand
on and by the end of the year you wouldn’t encounter a problem with the reading
comprehensions as well.
General Knowledge- Read
the newspaper daily for current affairs. Follow your couching institute’s module
for preparing static GK. Do as many objective questions as possible.
Logical Reasoning-
Follow your institute’s material and learn all the concepts. Practice as many
questions possible. Critical Reasoning is one section which acts as Achilles
Heel for most aspirants, so give special importance to it.
Legal-
Learn the important concepts and then practice the questions.
4. Study Plan
A
well thought out study plan is a must for you to clear CLAT. Study for at least
two hours day. However, you will have to increase these hours once the month of
October arrives. Try and finish all your material before you start giving
mocks. Lastly, it is essential for you to make a study plan by yourself and
follow it religiously.
5. Discover your true potential
Always remember a lot can change in
a year. You can be in the college that you always wanted
to go to. Henceforth, it is essential for you to stay motivated throughout the
year and work towards your Goal of your DREAM COLLEGE. Strategize and practice well, and you will be
achieve goal. Do not listen to some random person,
telling you that “you can’t do it’. Ignore them and always remember the reason
why you dropped in the first place. Focus on your CLAT preparation and work hard.
