STEP 2: Prioritize Revision Over New Learning-

In the last 25 days of CLAT preparation, it is best to avoid starting any new topic. Focus on revision of high-yield areas. Topics and skills that frequently appear, carry significant weight, or can be quickly improved for maximum score impact should be your top priority in these last 25 days before exam.

STEP 3: Practice Full-Length and Sectional Mock Tests with proper Analysis-

The most effective CLAT preparation strategy in final 25 days is analyzing your mock test. Analyzing your mock can clearly show you your weak topics, topics that you need to focus more on in these last 25 days before your exam, also the type of questions that are repeatedly asked in the paper. Track your accuracy and speed, try to simulate the real exam environment to build confidence. Give proper time in analyzing your mock.

STEP 4: Manage Time and Stress Wisely-

Your mindset is as important as your preparation. Don’t overload yourself with new materials. Maintain a healthy routine, take short breaks, and ensure you get adequate sleep. Stay confident and positive- clarity of mind boosts accuracy during the exam.

CLAT 2026 Study Plan

CLAT 2026 Study Plan varies depending upon the number of days left for the exam, you can also look upon How to Prepare for CLAT 2026 in 30 days study plan, make some minor changes in it and make your own Daily Study routine/ Planner for CLAT 2026.

As of now there are only 25 days left, divide these days into threeslots of 7 days (7+7+7) = 21 days/ 3 weeksand in the last four days reduce your time duration which you were giving in the previous 7 days slot to save yourself from mental and physical fatigue as being healthy during the exam is the most important factor that will affect your score.

In these slots you should focus only on:

    ·      Daily Targets

    ·      Weekly Targets

    ·      Improving Weak Areas

    ·      Revision

  q Week 1(12^th Nov – 18^thNov)

In the first week, while giving sectional tests and analyzing mocks, you will get to know the topics in which you are weak. Keeping this in mind, there is an extra hour dedicated to your weak areas. Being weak in a topic means you have been skipping or not being able to solve the questions from that topic/area. To improve this, you should first clear the basic concepts from your notes or any book you refer to and then again solve questions from the same topic either from mocks, PYQ or your notes.

Revising notes daily is the most important that you cannot afford to skip, because it lets you remember formulas, method of solving questions and mistakes that you made while solving a particular problem/question, becauseit is always suggested to solve all the questions in your notes including rough work as it will let you know the mistakes you made at the time of revision, so that you won’t repeat them again.

  q Week 2 (19^th Nov – 25^th Nov)

In the second week, increase the frequency of previous mocks analysis as well as attempt of Mock Tests to practice more questions. The reason for practicing questions simply lies in the fact that their level of difficulty is somewhere around the CLAT 2026 Exam.

One more thing to keep in mind is that while giving mocks you should practice filling out OMR answer sheets. Current affairs for the four months (Apr – Jul) should be covered daily rather than piling it up for 1-2 days, because it’s a major section with which you cannot take any risk.

  q Week 3 (26^th Nov – 2^nd Dec)

In the previous two weeks after giving these many Sectionals and Mock Tests you could clearly identify the section in which you are still lagging;  that's the reason there is an extra sectional test for that section. You need to put in some extra effort and find out why you are scoring low whether it’s because you are not able to understand the questions or it’s just because you are conceptually weak and then work accordingly.

For the last four days you just need to sit back and relax all you should do is revise the whole 1-year current affairs, overview your mocks, notes, and revise all the formulas. Avoid learning new things in this duration as it will only mess up the things. Be calm, spend time with your family, and prepare your strategy for the exam.
