Hello,

It's great that you're starting to prepare for the MH CET Law exam in 11th grade. Make sure to not take stress and be calm throughout the preparation.

First, make sure you understand the exam pattern, syllabus, and marking scheme. This will give you a clear idea of what to expect. Next, create a study schedule that works for you. Break down your study sessions into smaller ones and give time for each subject. This will help you manage your time effectively. You should also gather study material like textbooks, reference books, and previous years' question papers. They'll be super helpful in your preparation. Also focus on each subject tested in the exam, such as Legal Aptitude, General Knowledge, English, Logical Reasoning, and Mathematics.

Taking mock tests is a great idea. They'll help you in understanding your progress and getting familiar with the exam format.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
