CLAT Previous Pattern & Challenges

 
The previous pattern of CLAT consisted of 150 multiple-choice questions, with each question carrying one mark. The total duration of the exam was two hours, during which candidates were required to answer the questions. It evaluated the candidates' knowledge in various areas, including the English Language, Current Affairs (including General Knowledge), Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Technique.
 
 
• The previous pattern of CLAT placed a significant emphasis on testing students' speed, quick reading abilities, and comprehension skills.
• It was a challenge for CLAT aspirants to answer 150 questions within a limited time frame of 120 minutes.
• It required a balance between speed and accuracy to secure a good score and secure admission to the top NLUs.
 
 
Achieving a high score within this time constraint demanded not only accurate responses but also a swift and efficient approach to solving the questions. However, with the recent changes in the CLAT exam pattern, the new pattern provides a more balanced opportunity for students to demonstrate their reading comprehension skills & critical thinking abilities. It enables aspirants to engage with the questions more effectively, leading to improved accuracy and potentially higher scores in the CLAT exam.

With the introduction of the new CLAT pattern, it becomes imperative to adapt and modify your preparation strategy to align with the updated exam structure. The changes in the CLAT pattern will directly impact the cutoff and the score required to get admission to the top 5 NLUs, therefore, it is essential to understand these changes and tailor your preparation accordingly to ensure you are well-equipped to tackle the exam.
 
Let us delve into the modifications you should incorporate into your preparation strategy to effectively adapt to the new CLAT pattern:
 
Concept-Based Strategy:
 
Despite the reduction in the number of questions, it is important to note that there is no change in the syllabus, topics, or difficulty level of the questions. Therefore, your focus should remain on improving your reading abilities and building a strong conceptual understanding of the subjects. Continuously revise current affairs & ensure accuracy in answering the reduced number of questions.
 
 
Practice-Based Strategy:
 
Previously, securing 95+ marks out of 150 was a common target for admission to top NLUs. This required a rigorous practice to maintain a balance of speed and accuracy. However, with the new pattern, your focus should shift more towards accuracy during CLAT mock tests and practice sessions.
 
As the number of questions has been reduced, it is important to note that top aspirants will find it feasible to attempt all 120 questions within the allocated time. Hence, it is crucial for you to practice extensively to ensure that you can confidently and accurately tackle the entire paper in the given time.
 
 
Strengthening Analytical Skills:
 
With fewer questions to answer, the new pattern will emphasize the importance of critical thinking and analytical skills. Therefore, you should practice solving complex problems, legal reasoning scenarios, and logical puzzles to enhance your ability to analyze information and arrive at well-reasoned answers
 
 
Efficient Time Management: Current Legal Comprehensions
 
In the new CLAT pattern, effective time management becomes even more attainable, allowing you to comfortably attempt all 120 questions. By strategically organizing your approach and focusing on time-saving sections, you can optimize your time management and complete the entire paper with accuracy.
 
To build confidence & save time, you can begin with the general awareness section and then move to the quant section as these sections of CLAT typically require less time to answer. By quickly answering the questions in these sections, you can save valuable time for other sections and move further with confidence.
