Overall analysis of CLAT 2020:

1. The legal and logical reasoning sections didn’t need much critical reasoning skills to answer questions in these sections.

2. In fact, around 55 questions in the entire paper can be construed as reading comprehension questions.

3. This means the paper was less about critical comprehension and more about reading comprehension.

4. The paper was simple interpretation, and students who practice reading comprehension can easily attempt the paper. No extra preparation is needed.

5. Overall the paper was moderate but length
