For CLAT, candidates should not prepare only a fixed list of questions because the examination tests conceptual understanding, reading ability and application skills.
Important areas include:
English Language
Reading comprehension
Vocabulary in context
Inference
Main idea
Tone and author's viewpoint
Current Affairs & General Knowledge
National and international events
Government policies and schemes
Important appointments
Awards and honours
Sports
Science and technology
Important legal and constitutional developments
Major international organisations and events
Legal Reasoning
Principle-based legal passages
Constitutional concepts
Fundamental rights
Important legal developments
Application of principles to situations
Logical Reasoning
Arguments
Assumptions
Conclusions
Strengthening/weakening arguments
Inference
Critical reasoning
Quantitative Techniques
Percentages
Ratios
Averages
Profit and loss
Data interpretation
Basic arithmetic
The most important strategy is to practise passage-based questions and CLAT previous-year papers, rather than memorising isolated facts.
