    CLAT 2027 Official Mock Test 1: Quick Revision Tips

    • Learn each topic as a checklist of essentials, not as long notes.

    • Pay extra attention to exceptions and defences, because wrong options often hide there.

    • Practise passage-based questions and read the principle in the passage, even when it differs from the actual law.

    • Keep a short list of landmark cases, but spend more time on applying principles than on memorising names.
