Time Management & Attempt Strategy on D-Day

• First 3–4 minutes: Quickly scan the entire question paper to assess difficulty and plan sections.
• Suggested Order (most successful candidates follow):
  1. English → Current Affairs/GK → Legal Reasoning → Logical Reasoning → Quant (last)
• Time Allocation (ideal):
  • English: 20–22 min
  • Current Affairs + GK: 25–28 min
  • Legal Reasoning: 30–35 min
  • Logical Reasoning: 28–32 min
  • Quantitative Techniques (Maths): 12–15 min
  • Buffer + Review: 5–8 min
• Attempt Target: Aim for 95–105+ attempts with 90%+ accuracy for top NLUs.
• Don’t Stick: If a passage/question takes >2 minutes, mark for review and move on.
• Fill OMR Sheet Carefully: Bubble answers gradually to avoid errors. Double-check in last minutes.
• Last 5 minutes: Review OMR for unmarked questions (educated guess better than blank due to low negative marking).

Last-Minute Preparation Tips (Day Before & Morning)

• Sleep 7–8 hours the night before.
• Do NOT study new topics or solve mocks on exam day morning.
• Revise only your short notes/formulas if needed.
• Have a light breakfast; carry transparent water bottle.
• Leave home early considering traffic.

Conclusion

CLAT UG is as much about speed and accuracy as it is about knowledge. Stay calm, trust your 6–12 months of preparation, follow the time allocation above, and avoid silly mistakes in reading passages or OMR filling. You’ve got this!
