Strategy Planning for CLAT 2023
The CLAT 2023 syllabus covers a spectrum of courses that include general awareness, quantitative techniques, legal reasoning, logical reasoning, and the English language.
To do well in CLAT 2023, a candidate must score well in all five areas.
If you're strong in all of the areas, you'll be able to finish the syllabus in less time; however, if you are weak in one of the sections, you will need more time to finish the syllabus and will have to start from the beginning.
Ideally, one should prepare for the CLAT exam for at least a year. Candidates will have enough time to go over the syllabus several times before focusing on the mock exams.
When it comes to the best time to prepare for CLAT 2023, the morning hours are seen to be the most productive. So, the candidate should avoid staying up late.
CLAT Mocks will aid in better preparation and identification of strong and weak areas. They also provide a realistic exam setting, giving students a practise run before the big day.
One must solve previous year's CLAT question papers and samples to discover weak regions that need to be strengthened.
Remember that developing a strategy isn't enough; you'll need to stick to it with discipline if you want to clear CLAT 2023.
Every candidate's strategic planning is different, so make sure you develop your strategy based on your objectives rather than comparing it to others.
According to toppers and experts, if you want to pass this national-level exam, you must focus on time management. According to the CLAT exam format, 150 questions must be answered in 120 minutes, which is a difficult challenge in and of itself. Set a timer for yourself and try to finish them within the allotted time.
To win the task of time management in the exam, it is also necessary to revise the material regularly and perform several mock exams.

Answer laterHow to study for Gk in one month for clat 2022?
Hi,
- Conventionally, students are advised to study current affairs of last 12 months before exam month. So, if CLAT 2022 happens in May, one should prepare for current affairs from May 2021-April 2022. At the same time, static GK in the context of current affairs is also important, which has no set historical timelines
- Most commonly asked CA topics are - Government & politics, world news & forums, business-economy-trade, personalities, awards & honours, science & technology, aerospace- defence in the decreasing order of importance
- With the new CLAT pattern, Q will be passage based. Hence, knowing every event till the second level of detailing will be crucial. Also, static GK in the context of current affairs is important. For events related to above topics, ask ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘why’, ‘when’ and ‘when first/when last’ Q. You will learn almost everything about that event
- Rely on daily newspaper like THE HINDU and 1–2 websites like cloudaffairs/GKToday since they provide clubbing of event by topics. They also provide quizzes which should be used for revision & not preparation
- Create your own charts/flash cards with tables of relevant events. Exchange them with like minded & serious CLAT aspirants and ask quizzes in small groups. This will lead to better recall. Since you have almost 1.5 years ahead, start this practice early so that you will get used to it & start enjoying the process.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.

if I get AIR3000 in CLAT 2022 can I get into hnlu and I have chhattisgarh domicile plz help
Hello,
You haven't mentioned if you are enquiring about Under Graduate or Post Graduate course. Based on the information available in your profile we consider that you are seeking admission to Under Graduate course. Last year a candidate with rank 4300 belonging to General category (Home state quota) secured admission to Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur. As you haven't mentioned your category we assume that you belong to general category. Considering the cut off you will have decent chances of getting seat in HNLU in Under Graduate course if you secure rank (AIR) 3000. But the cut off is subjected to change, it may increase or decrease depending on total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination and total number of seats available etc.
