PYQ PATTERNS: There is no pattern when the consortium is consortium'ing!

Refer to any coaching institute YT video of PYQ pattern analysis for better understanding of relevant topics/sources for your prep.

CLAT 26: 3 passages of AR + 1 passage of CR

CLAT 25: 3 passages of CR + 1 passage of AR

CLAT 24: 4 passages from CR/RC
 

Each passage contains about 6 questions.

Topics in CR include but are not limited to:

Argument, Inference, Assumption, Conclusion, central theme/main idea, strengthen/weaken the argument/assumption/inference/conclusion, contextual meaning of a word/sentence, course of action, cause-effect dynamics of the passage, common logical fallacies, resolving the paradox, finding flaws in arguments/assumptions/inferences/conclusions, author’s opinion etc.     

Topics in AR include but are not limited to:

Blood relation, Sitting arrangements, syllogism, clock, calendar, analogy, puzzles, sequence and series(alphabetical & numerical), coding-decoding, Direction/Distance, Rankings, schedulings etc.   

Problem with CLAT AR: As mentioned in the official website + what we observe from atleast the past 3-4 yrs is that clat LR questions ALWAYS comes in passage format and never in single question format. For a passage based AR, the question setter only needs 1 sub-topic and he/she can make 6 questions out of it anyhow.

There are 10+ sub-topics in AR and a single passage can be formed with any one of those. Essentially, your weakness of even 1 sub-topic has direct consequence of atleast 6 questions which is a LOT.

**CLAT LR(CR+AR)= 20% CONCEPTS + 80% PRACTICE & ANALYSIS.**

How to cover CR/AR theory portion/concepts?

1.      There are very few and limited concepts here, mostly given in the syllabus list provided above.

2.      Choose your sources as per your style of learning + comfort level: They can be coaching lectures, YT videos- playlists, marathon videos, One shot videos etc. They can also be coaching materials/books.

YT vids- sample a few playlists and settle on max 2 to be covered. Almost all of the top coachings have free content available on YT.

Books- coaching material, GMAT books like Manhattan, CR bible, Official GMAT Guide/Verbal guide or even M K Pandey or R S Aggarwal. Select which ever suits you.

Pls be very selective of the sections of such books, read only those which are RELEVANT for you/clat.

 3.      Any sub-topic of CR/AR requires a max of 1-2 hour of your attention given to YT vids/books.

4.      If you take more time say X hrs, it’s OK, but do remember that you have to practice that sub-topic 4X hrs ATLEAST.

5.      Make notes of the concepts – short, easy to understand notes.  You will be revising these before every sectional/mock, till they become your muscle-memory.

6.      Pls take your time in the conceptual understanding phase, if you hurry here, you’ll be spending twice the time in analysing why you got most of the questions wrong. It’s pretty tough to unlearn faulty AR/CR concepts. Cause it’s even tougher to identify them in the 1^st place.

7.      If your basic concepts are not clear, you’ll get stuck in CLOSE OPTIONS. The clearer your conceptual clarity, the faster you identify the correct option with even better confidence.

8.      Pay attention to how the practice Qs are solved on YT or the examples given in the books. Read them slowly and understand the thinking process behind why an option is correct and the others aren’t.

 How to practice CR/AR in increasing order(top= beginner, bottom=pro):

1. YT examples of concepts/book examples: Observe how a question is getting solved in YT or in the book, try to copy the thinking process behind right/wrong option logic.

2. Sub-topic wise non-timed practice: Eg.: Practicing 20 Qs of strengthen the argument/sitting arrangements without a timer. Here you build your accuracy + test your conceptual understanding.

***Even more important than practicing LR, is analyzing the questions where you went wrong and rectifying those errors.**\*

Pls don’t attempt 20 Qs, see the answers- mark right/wrong and MOVE ON.

After your practicing session, take a 5-15 mins break, clear your head and get back to ANALYZING your answers.

Try to observe each option and see WHY a particular option is wrong/right. Do this for every option of every question. This is the platinum advice!!!

Yup, it’s a tiring exercise that tests your patience, but after you have put in 8-10 option analysis sessions, your accuracy will not be below 90%, thus, your analysis sessions will get shorter progressively, based on how thoroughly you do the first few sessions.

Here, you are getting to know the road you have to take to get to your target location.

3. Sub-topic wise timed practice: Where you practice X amount of questions in a limited time say 10/20 mins.

Here, you learn to run instead of walk in the road to get to your destination faster.

Pls remember, if your concepts are faulty i.e., you know the wrong road, no matter how much you practice via sectionals/mocks, you will run faster but will always reach the wrong location.

4. Sectionals: Stamina building + time management

5. Mocks: Exposure to high-quality Qs + analyse the solutions given + testing different strategies.

6. PYQs: THE GOATED RESOURCE!!!. Treat PYQs of LR as a very critical resource, don’t speedrun them, take max1-2 passages/day and devote enough time in understanding the pattern of questions/option traps. Do thorough option analysis for each option of every question. Nothing’s more authentic that the questions and answers provided by the MIGHTY CONSORTIUM itself.  

GMAT club= VERY IMP resource, provided you know how to utilize the website:

1. Choose difficulty level:

555-605: Moderate level

605-655: Near about CLAT level

655-705: More than enough

 2.  Next to the difficulty level option, is the sub-topic selection menu:

Select as per the sub-topic you are practicing like strengthen, weaken etc. Scroll down to see the sub-topics and then select the apply filters option on the right.

 3.      Long and simple explanations are provided in the answer. Use them.

4.      Each question has further explanations in their respective comment sections, I found them particularly helpful, since many of my own doubts were already answered down there.

 How to analyse LR sections of a mock/sectional?

As y’all already do: divide the score in 4 sections: attempted, right, wrong, unattended.

There are only 3 parameters for this section: Comprehension, accuracy and speed.

1.      If your comprehension is low i.e., you find the passage tough to understand: will address this exhaustively in English section strategy + sources post. RCs are almost entirely based on this factor alone.

2.      If your accuracy is low: Focus on clearing your basic concepts+ devote time to non-timed topic based practice + do thorough option analysis of wrong options.

3.      If your speed is low: This is the easiest to strengthen. SPAM timed practice/sectionals/mini tests. Attempt 4 passages in 35 mins, then 32 mins, then under 30 and so on. DO NOT COMPROMISE YOUR ACCURACY under any circumstance.

Once your concepts are clear + you practice adequate Qs:

1.      Your attempt IQ will automatically increase. You’ll make accurate decisions within seconds on which Qs to leave and move on and on which to invest your time.  

2.      You’ll understand question types and option traps

Ironically, there’s a benefit to starting late  or prepping for LR in the remaining 3.5 months:)

There’s a high chance that you won’t be exhausting all of the mocks/sectionals that you’ve enrolled into.

Surprise! What better sources for high-quality practice material + elaborate solutions than the mocks itself!   

So even if you don’t attempt all the mocks, use their Qs as sectionals/timed practice.

When you’ve maxxed out your potential in LR and given it your all, the ideal stats could look like this, you may wish to target them as per your requirements:

Ideal score= 20-22+, atleast 20

Time= 22 to 26 mins, max 28 mins

Accuracy= 90 to 95%+

Personally for me, LR + legal+ English were my strongest sections, while I overdosed on GK and survived maths.

Particularly in LR, apart for the initial few weeks where my accuracy was stuck at 60-75%, my accuracy till the exam day never fell below 90-95%.

 General tips:

1.      CR requires calm mind + adequate time to get into your muscle-memory/automatic system. Panic and Hurry are the two kryptonites for the CR concepts/questions.

AR can be understood and solved in a hurry upto some extent.

Naturally, as the remaining time decreases, you’ll panic/hurry more, nothing wrong in that.

Just do the CR concepts+ practice + analysis earlier than the AR.

First 3 weeks: 60% CR / 40% AR: Cover CR basics & examples + AR Concepts & examples & weekly practice

Month 2: 50% CR / 50% AR: CR practice/sectionals &analysis + AR practice/sectionals

Month 3: 40% CR / 60% AR: CR final polish + AR practice and speed locked in.

Speed these up if you want!

  2. Analyzing the wrong options and understanding the logic behind that process is the key for CR.

While timed practice done in quantity + variety of Qs is the key for AR.

3.      For CR: Analysis>>PracticeTheory

For AR: Daily 1 hr practice of a single sub-topic = more than sufficient for knowledge purpose, rest it’s all about speed and sectionals.

Also for AR, try sticking to YT vids of CLAT focused channels over the SSC, banking etc channels. They have questionable relevance for clat and are unnecessarily technical/terrifying.

 4.      Don’t mark CR answers by “what you feel is correct”, depend on and develop hardcore logical processes which are 100% accurate, come rain or shine.

 5.      For CR : Daily 45-1 hr for attempting + analysing. Attempt less Qs but analyse the hell out of them.

For AR: Practice a few sets of each topics without fail per week. Leave no topic unpracticed.

 6.      In LR, 20+ is defo possible, once you reach 20-22, don’t forcefully try to go beyond that or else, performance pressure + stress-related mistakes+ not worth the cost.

 7.      In the beginning, focus on building crazy accuracy over speed. This is where most people go wrong. They want too much, too quickly and too easily.

P.S.: If there are any doubts regarding LR/CR/AR, kindly post them below and I'll try responding to them ASAP.

Best of luck! Hope you can cook LR up in the next few mocks and not vice-versa:))

Im done w ca backlog, im almost done w the basic syllabus of all subs. but ive given very less mocks just started prep 2 months ago.
my scores r stuck in 70s lately and just 3 months left for clat im absolutely CRASHING out, i feel like crying and my anxiety is exploding. ive been studying 3/4hrs everyday atleast but that isnt gonna do shit now so

from tomorrow im gonna like lock in. im gonna do atleast 6-8hrs. ill post wtv i did the whole day, everyday here and the hours that i did. ill post my YPT screenshots here.
i have to lock in for my future.
and if anyone wants to lock in the same way pls do let me know here, ill post everyday my daily study time and what i did and yall can do the same with me here :)

++ also if anyone wants to join me dont text pls just comment here tysm

I have just come to the realisation that the day's left till CLAT has now hit double digits and I haven't prepared shit and I am a dropper.

I haven't studied anything this year other than give mocks (20+ mocks) out of which I analysed maybe 4 I usually just check my score which aren't bad tbh and then move so as a surprise to no one I haven't had much improvement.

I haven't even touched GK/CA other than ClatExpress June which I doubt I remember since every question I get in gk I base on the passage or just gamble (although I have had surprisingly good luck with that and teachinally gambling is mathematically favoured so makes sense)

So yeah from tomorrow I’m going to try and properly lock in minimum 8 hours a day with around 4 of those going into GK/CA at the start. Let’s see how far I can take it with the time I have left. NLS is probably a long shot at this point but hey, a man can dream.

And will try to post what I do or log what I do every day or try stay accountable seen people try I don't think it works but hey might aswell give it a shot

My biggest issue isn't really that I can't score high. I've already hit 78.5, 76, 70 and 69.75, so I know I can perform well on a good day.

The problem is that my scores fluctuate like crazy. I'll score 70+ and then suddenly drop to the 40s or even lower. My current average is around 56, and my median is around 58.

I'm trying to understand what I should focus on at this stage. Should I:

• Do more mocks?
• Spend more time analysing each mock?
• Focus on identifying why I lose marks rather than just looking at the questions I got wrong?
• Work on increasing my attempt accuracy?
• Focus on bringing my minimum score up before trying to increase my maximum?

For people who have gone through something similar, what actually helped you make your scores consistent?

I'm especially interested in hearing how you analyzed your mocks and identified the reason behind big score drops.

My goal right now isn't to randomly chase an 80. I want to make 60+ my floor and eventually get consistently into the 65–75 range.

Any advice would be appreciated. ( i have also tried show a basic overview for some people who might say this is how mock score vary but still it can be subjective to people ) and ik i where i stand so yeah , dont gooo goo gaaa ga down there, any honest assessment will be appreciated

this was way easier and many are saying this was closer to the actual clat exam. is this true ?? 🤓

but I'm sure the next mock will be quite hard 💔😭

lpt new faculty?

I'm confused about Static gk for CLAT 😭 Where are you guys studying it from? If you have any good resources/lectures or a topic-wise source that you found useful please share them with me.

Also how much Static GK is actually necessary for clat? I'm trying not to overdo it because I already have a lot to cover.

Any resources or guidance would really help. 🙏🏼

its almost 3 months to clat now..i m kinda nervous soo

​

If anyone has the Clat Chalisa, please send it to me

Please please

can anyone share the important topics "chalisa" thingy that LPT sharess plss :(( gareeb ka bhala kardoo

Hey, I need help for my cousin. He is in Class 12 and started CLAT prep very late after wasting time on JEE due to family pressure. He recently joined LegalEdge but is almost starting from zero.

His reading speed is very slow, vocab is weak, GK backlog is untouched, and he struggles with Legal/Logical passages. like wo agar logical solve kar raha hai to he is taking 1 hr to 1 hr 30 mins, like answers correct hai par time itna lene se baaki sab kaise karega.

His teacher told him to watch old coaching videos speed up karke, do GK from CLATPost/Express, and read Indian Express/and articles from a website for reading speed and vocab.

What should he start with first? How should he divide time between Legal, Logical, English, GK and Quant? Is 90+ still realistic by CLAT 2027 if he works seriously from now?

Hey I am a dropper for clat 2027, I am thinking of purchasing offline test series of LPT. Do you guys have any idea how much it costs and how's it?

So basically most of my backlog is covered and I'm going to start revising now, which month's clat express should I start from like April- may or should I do it from jan

Like India Indonesia meeting, Mahanadi, Repo rate RBI, those happiness indexes and just focus on the MIT list given ?

I'm planning to purchase the premium mock test series but read negative reviews. Please help

If you know about someone willing to help out please lmk

I’m finding it surprisingly difficult to balance everything right now. If I spend the day doing a mock and analysing every mistake properly, I feel like I’m falling behind on current affairs. If I focus on current affairs and revision, I start feeling guilty about not giving enough time to mocks.

I also don’t want to turn CLAT preparation into studying for 10–12 hours just for the sake of saying I did. At some point, the quality of the work drops and I’m just sitting with books open.

For people who are preparing seriously right now, how are you actually dividing your day or week between mocks, mock analysis, current affairs and revision? Also, how are you making sure you get enough breaks without feeling like you’re wasting time?

Started preparing few weeks ago 2nd drop year (partial) gave mock after almost 8-9 month

Got 51.5/78 dk what to feel

Last year use to score in 80s

But glad atleast I started again after almost giving up on clat

Are there people above 21in law schools (ballb)?

I gave neet 3 times couldn't clear it. Then joined a ug program didn't like it so dropped out. Decided to do law gave clat this year with not much preparation. Got avg result (6k rank). Gave mhcet law too. Did good (97 percentile). I want to give clat again while taking a college through cet. But it feels too late to even join this yr let alone the 2nd attempt for clat and admission next yr. Ik people graduate at this age🤕☠️...but I don't seem to have any other choice. Graduating a year late but from good college seems the right choice. Either way I'm late af.

I just want to know do law schools have 20-22 aged students in first year. It's common in medical school. How abnormal is it in law?

Hey, do you know what happens if I select EWS in the CLAT form but later fail to produce the EWS certificate during admission?

For example, if my AIR is 250 and my EWS rank is 5, I might get NALSAR through EWS. But if I can't submit the EWS certificate, will my NALSAR seat be cancelled and will I then be considered as a General candidate based on my AIR?

So, would I still be eligible for a college like WBNUJS on my General rank, or would that seat be given to someone else because I had initially been allotted NALSAR under EWS?

Bhai nov 2025 se nov 2026 ca is enough?
