Short Time Intervals

If you think studying for 6 hours without any breaks will result in you receiving an amazing score in the test, you are far from the truth. Studies have suggested that long study hours can lead to mental fatigue. Therefore, the best course of action is to study in short intervals. For example, study for 45 minutes and take a 10 minutes break.

However, it’s also vital that you utilise this break efficiently. Take this time to visit the washroom, get something to eat, and unwind by doing something you enjoy.

Prioritising

Prioritising is where the magic begins. Once you have an idea of your strong and weak areas, you can choose to polish each of them by allotting the right amount of time to each subject. For example, if you struggle with logical reasoning questions then allocate more time to doing logical reasoning type questions. In the same lines, if you have a strong base in English and Mathematics, then you can get away with allotting relatively less time studying these.

Mock Test

Mock Tests are one of the best ways to analyse your strengths and weaknesses. You must try to attempt at least one mock test daily. However, once you have taken the test, you must also invest time to analyse it thoroughly. This will, in turn, help you to master the art of time management. Sticking to the time limit in mock tests will help you to get habituated to the examination pattern.

Relax

It’s important that you avoid procrastination and work hard to ace the CLAT 2019. However, it’s also essential to de-stress from time to time. Therefore, ensure that you take the time you need to unwind and relax. Take the time to work out, do yoga or meditate every day to help you stay focused but relaxed.

There you have it, the basic tips you need to ace the CLAT entrance exam 2019. All the best!
