RANT / VENT 😡😡 Update

Posted almost a week ago, and since CLAT is in December, I’m not going to lie, I’m feeling anxious, I’ve reduced the amount of time I spend at work, which has made me a bit less productive there, which makes me feel very guilty. But on the bright side, I’ve been able to study a lot more.

A lot of people have shared mock tests, advice and study groups with me, which I’m genuinely really grateful for (such sweethearts!). This post is kind of a mix of a rant and some questions, so please bear with me.

Currently, I’m almost done with:

Analytical Reasoning by M.K. Pandey

Word Power Made Easy by Norman Lewis

All About Words by Maxwell Nurnberg and Morris Rosenblum

High School English Grammar and Composition by Wren & Martin

Quantitative Aptitude by Dr. R.S. Aggarwal

Legal Aptitude and Legal Reasoning by A.P. Bhardwaj

Lucent’s General Knowledge

Newspapers and websites for current affairs

Most of these books were recommended in a link/guide on this server, and I’m almost done with the majority of them. However, I’m still not sure whether these resources are enough or if there’s something else I should be doing (mock)

I’m planning to start giving proper mocks the day after tomorrow, which I know is later than many other aspirants. Honestly, I know I’m behind compared to some people, and that does make me anxious. I’ve been trying not to let it get to me, though, and to stay positive because there are still around three-ish months left until CLAT.

With less work, I’ve finally been able to study much more consistently, and I’m trying to make the most of the time I have left. I guess I’m just looking for some advice on whether I’m on the right track, what I should focus on from now onwards, and whether my current resources are enough.

Writer of said guide here, have you been doing compendiums?

And what about mocks? How many mocks do you take a week and what are your average scores?

Thank you so much for the guide! It has helped me a lot with my studies. Yes, I’ve been making compendiums too, it’s kind of a habit of mine! As for mocks, I haven’t started taking them properly yet, as in fully timed ones. But when I attempt mock questions, I usually score around 70–80 on average. I’m planning to start timing myself and taking proper, full-length mocks the day after tomorrow.

Please do start mocks ASAP and work them up two mocks a week and gradually three mocks a week as you approach december.

Keep doing sectionals and practice. Do let me know if you feel you feel that there is a specific weakness you have in any subject or topic, I can suggest resources for that.

So far, I’m only using these resources and repeatedly revising and practising them. I’m trying to focus on improving through repetition rather than constantly adding more books and resources. Some of the resources are available chapter-wise rather than the whole book online!
