Build on Concepts: CLAT is a test of comprehension and reasoning. Read newspapers regularly and solve passages to build on your comprehension skills and reading speed. Revise your fundamentals and look out for any missing parts. Ensure you have covered all the concepts.

Focus on events: With current affairs now focused on significant events, it is important to read about the same and do your own research around the information. Pick up the important topics and revise them. Do your own research to look for any historical connections to the event.

Take Mocks: Mocks are one of the best tools to learn about your strength and weaknesses. Keep writing the same.

Plan your next CLAT Mock test.

Analyze the time spent on each section and each question. Look out for what’s affecting your accuracy? Is it conceptual clarity or silly mistakes?

How do improve scores?

Given the time constraint, it would be difficult to attempt all 150 questions. However, one can look for the maximum possible marks to get a better rank. To improve scores, one can either increase the number of attempts or reduce the number of mistakes. The first one has its own limitations.
Increase attempts: Stop wasting time on questions that one is not able to solve. By saving just three seconds per question, one can attempt six extra questions in 120 min. Don’t take a break between the questions.
Reduce mistakes: Be alert and concentrate on the question. Stop thinking about the previous question that one has left unattended/attended. Every four reduction of mistakes will add 5 marks to the total.

Mock tests: Practicing mock tests will help improve your time-management skills and build your confidence levels. Also, you can enhance your speed and accuracy and perform well in the final exam.
