With less than 7 days left to go for CLAT, the pressure to crack the CLAT with a good score and secure a seat in the college of your dreams might be overwhelming.
Here’s a post on last-minute tips that you can employ to improve your CLAT score.
1. Mocks make a huge difference!
Taking mocks and practicing sample questions will help you figure out the areas you need to work upon more, and also help you analyze your speed and accuracy and get an idea of the range of scores you might obtain.
You can take these mocks and sample questions for CLAT in a setting similar to exam centers to familiarize yourself with the exam pattern and improve your confidence while taking the real test.
2. Build upon your mock scores to improve accuracy
Mocks and sample questions help you analyze your strengths and weaknesses while helping you improve your accuracy. The idea is to go through previous year questions and as many mocks and sample questions as possible to both test your preparation and gain knowledge at the same time.
If you’ve already attempted a mock, attempt it again and check if your accuracy and performance in your weaker areas has improved.
3. Use various techniques to find the right answer
You can deduce the answer, you can employ the elimination technique or you can reach the answer from the contextual material provided in the paper. However, remember that there’s always negative marking if you select the wrong option. Do not attempt questions in order to just increase the number of attempted questions.
4. Revision plays a big role!
Imagine having worked hard all year long only to be stuck between two options. Do you know why this happens so often? It happens because even if we read something and make notes on it, we seldom revise it. This results in vague recollection during the examination, thus confusing us and leading us to make silly mistakes.
You can revise the current affairs for all the months before you take the CLAT to have an upper hand over other aspirants. For current affairs, put additional emphasis on awards, sports, arts and international events.
5. Go from easier to tougher
We’ve often heard the phrase “play to your strengths” being used to denote that people should do what they do well rather than getting tangled up in other things. For you to score well, you need to first play to your strengths and then use other tactics in areas that you’re weaker in.
For example, if you think you have a good grasp over current affairs, start with that. This will not only engage your mind, but also improve your confidence while ensuring there’s a lesser chance of you making mistakes.
All the best!
