Referring to different sources is time consuming so rather on wasting time on them one should focus on the limited but effective source. 5. LEARNING ON THE D-DAY As said before that preparation of CLAT requires time and it focuses on the day to day knowledge. Learning about the day to day things cannot be grasped in a day. Therefore cramming general knowledge facts right before the exams is not beneficial. And students should start their preparation as early as possible. Avoid mugging up the information in one day should be avoided. 6. DONT PANIC AND MANAGE YOUR TIME PROPERLY Managing your time properly is an important thing while giving your CLAT exam, many students spend majority of their time after a question which requires time.

NOT FOLLOWING YOUR TIMETABLE Usually first timers do not study according to their timetable, which demotes their rank. So candidates must put a habit of practicing according to their timetable. As the CLAT exam is conducted after the completion of the 12th board, students mostly focus on their board exams neglecting the preparations of CLAT, this mistake should not be made and equal attention should be given to the preparation of CLAT as it is given to the preparation of their boards.
