CLAT Preparation Tips 2023

In order to crack the exam in one attempt, you must make a proper study plan and preparation strategy. As per the expert's opinion, you must make sure to start your CLAT preparation at least 6 or 7 months before the exam.

If you start your preparation early, you will have sufficient time for preparation, practice questions, and revision.

  • Read More to improve language. Read books, magazines, newspapers, and novels to enhance your vocabulary.
  • Study the basics of grammar; this can be done even from school-level grammar books to strengthen your basics. However, you need to get your grammar right and fix the mistakes to secure a good rank.
  • Mathematics may not be a big deal for law aspirants as this is just Class 10 mathematics. Go through NCERT Mathematics textbooks of class 9 and class 10. 
  • Legal aptitude continues to be the most important section. Important book references for this would be the Constitution of India and the Legal Penal Code.
  • Importance of Moot Courts: Knowledge of arguing cases and knowing various laws at the tip of your tongue is a great thing to know for all aspiring lawyers.

CLAT Books 2023

Generally, CLAT Preparation Books 2023 are judged as good or best based on the content and the information provided per the latest exam pattern and syllabus.

The following are some of the best books that you include during your exam preparation.

  • Word Power Made Easy by Norman

  • Manorama Year Book by Mammen Mathew
  • Quantitative Aptitude for Competitive Examinations by RS Aggarwal
  • A Modern Approach to Logical Reasoning by RS Aggarwal

CLAT Toppers Tips 2023

Ishan Thakur has successfully cleared the Law entrance Test 2021 with an AIR of 19 and scored 100.25 out of 150.

This is definitely a great score despite the change in the pattern and new types of questions. Here is a brief CLAT Topper Interview of Ishan. Know his success strategy and how he reached his goals.

  • Ishan began his preparation for Law entrance Test for a year, and his dream was to join NLSIU Bangalore, the top law university in the country.
  • He focused completely on his studies and took a break from all the social networking platforms. 
  • He was confident of making it to the top 3 NLUs but scoring 19 in the All India Ranking was unexpected.
  • Due to the postponement of the exam, Ishan pushed himself to study more and kept himself motivated.
  • This phase actually let him prepare more and increase his confidence.
  • He followed a series during preparation, i.e., he began with English, then Current affairs, followed by Legal Reasoning, then Mathematics, and lastly, Logical Reasoning. Since the Exam was comprehension-based this year, this strategy suited him well.
  • When it comes to Ishan's preparation strategy, he didn't have any particular timings for studying. Some days he would study the whole day, and other days just 4-5 hours. He also added that "taking breaks between studying is very important as it refreshes your mind and helps in focussing better."
  • Another important tip from Ishan is that he attempted more than 70 mock tests and solved all the sample papers provided by Consortium. After the mock test, it is important to go through the analysis to know your errors. 
  • Reading newspapers like The Hindu and Indian Express daily helped Ishan tackle the analysis based on current affairs.
