Is 70 a good score in CLAT 2026 mock tests?
If candidates get a score of 70 in CLAT 2026 mock tests before three months of the exam, it can be said that candidates are moving forward positively. While a score of 70 cannot guarantee general category students admissions to top NLUs. A score of 70 in CLAT 2026 mock tests cannot be termed as a good score for even mid-tier NLUs. However, if candidates are getting 70 marks out of 120 in CLAT mock tests around three or four months before the exam date, it is a good sign that candidates have reached almost half there. With the ample amount left candidates can focus on improving their mock scores and eventually touch the 100 mark. Scoring consistently good in mock tests can give students that much needed confidence which will be very beneficial in the actual exam.

CLAT 2026 Mock Analysis: How to improve your scores?
Here are some tips and strategies to improve your CLAT 2026 mock test scores:
Maintain a record book for mock tests: Candidates can make a proper record book for all the mock tests they take to analyze their performance over time. Additionally, candidates should note down their weakness or area of improvement after each mock test, so that they can work on it and improve their scores.
Take subject-specific mock tests: Apart from the general mock tests, candidates can also take subject-specific mock tests. Practicing subject-specific mock tests will give candidates a better grasp over the subject and when they take general mock tests they will feel more confident.
Consistency is the key: Candidates must make sure that they consistently give mock tests. Maintaining consistency gives candidates a good clarity about their preparations. Also, regularly solving mock tests gives candidates that much-needed confidence.
Go back to unattempted questions: While attempting mock tests, candidates leave some questions unattempted due to time management or maybe they found them too difficult. After completing the mock tests, candidates must always revisit such questions. This will help candidates work on their weak areas and improve mock test scores.
