Here’s a detailed guide on how to approach your CLAT 2026 preparation in the final days, subject-wise. The goal is to revise smartly, boost confidence, and manage time effectively for each section.

Grammar Practice: Go over common grammar rules like sentence structure, tenses, prepositions, etc. Focus on spotting errors quickly.
CLAT Mock Test Practice: Take one or two full-length mock tests to identify weak areas in English and practice answering quickly.
Quick Revision of Key Events: Focus on important national and international events from the past six months. Pay special attention to politics, economics, sports, and social issues.
Important Reports and Summaries: Review key reports like the Economic Survey, World Bank, IMF reports, and other major annual summaries.
Daily News Summary: Spend some time reading news summaries or CLAT-specific current affairs blogs to get a quick revision.
Revise Important Legal Maxims and Terms: Make sure to have the definitions and applications of key legal terms and maxims fresh in your mind.
Focus on Past Papers: Solve previous year’s legal reasoning questions to get familiar with the pattern and commonly asked concepts.
Understand the Principle-Application Format: Practice questions that test your ability to apply legal principles to real-life situations.
Practice Critical Reasoning: Focus on solving puzzles, analogies, and statement-based questions quickly. These questions are often time-consuming, so practice under time pressure.
Revise Logical Sequences and Coding-Decoding: Revisit tricky topics like sequences, blood relations, and coding-decoding that may take extra time during the exam.
Mock Test Practice: Solve sectional mocks for Logical Reasoning to fine-tune your speed and accuracy.
Focus on Speed and Accuracy: Go over basic math formulas, especially for topics like percentages, ratios, time and distance, and algebra.
Practice Short Tricks: Try to learn and use shortcuts for calculations to save time.
Revise Important Topics: Spend time on simpler topics like data interpretation, averages, and percentages. Skip new, complex topics and focus on revising the basics.
Review Legal Knowledge: Go through basic legal principles, rights, and duties that are frequently tested. Look for major constitutional provisions and landmark cases.
Practice Applying Principles to Facts: Read through questions where legal principles are applied to factual scenarios. This helps build your logical reasoning skills alongside legal knowledge.
On the day of the CLAT 2026 exam, managing your time wisely is important. Start by reading all instructions carefully before the exam begins.
Allocate specific time for each section - spend around 20-25 minutes on English, 30 minutes on Logical Reasoning, and the rest on other sections. Don’t spend too much time on any single question; if you're stuck, move on and return to it later. Keep track of time, and ensure you have time to review your answers at the end.
