CLAT or Common Law Admission Test is considered as the largest national-level law entrance examination in the country. Just like the preceding years, about 50000 students will write the CLAT 2019. There are 19 NLUs in the country, which conduct this exam on a rotational basis.
Due to the highly competitive nature of this exam, thorough preparation is required in order to successfully qualify. Once you are done with studying the syllabus, mock tests are a great way to further strengthen your preparation. They give you a first-hand feel of the exam and help you get a grasp on time management and performance under pressure.
How Do Mock Test Series Help?
• They provide candidates with an exam-like environment. The mock test is a full-length paper, designed in a similar way as the real exam paper. Thus, test takers gain the necessary experience while attempting mock papers.
• Often, candidates lose out on questions that they know due to the pressure of attempting other sections. At times, they spend more time on a particular question leaving less or no time for the other questions. Taking mock exams helps you understand how to reduce these mistakes and teaches you the value of time during the exam.
• The mock series also helps candidates to improve both the speed and accuracy with which they answer questions. Thus, all law exam experts advocate that students should take as many mock tests they can.
• The CLAT 2019, like the previous CLAT exams, will also test the candidate’s legal knowledge. As a vast majority of students have just graduated, they might not get deep knowledge of the law. If they take the mock series, they will be acquainted with the type of questions that can come in the legal section and learn as they review their paper.
• The mock test series has papers of varying difficulty levels. Taking a mock series will help the candidates in understanding the difficulty level of the actual CLAT 2019 paper and prepare them on how to manage time on the actual exam day. Solving a lot of mock papers gives you a fair idea of what sections can be finished off quickly and what sections require more attention and time. You can then devise your strategy accordingly and follow it on the actual exam day.
• Mock tests are the perfect way to help understand your strengths and weaknesses. There will be sections, which will perturb a particular person. After you realise what your strengths and weaknesses are, you can decide which topics to put extra effort into and which topics you are fairly good at. If you are facing too much difficulty with a topic, you can also take a call and completely skip it.
Mock tests have numerous benefits and are recommended by the various toppers of previous CLATs, professors and mentors alike. The more mock tests you take, the more benefit you can derive from them. But, everyone must aim for a minimum of 20-25 mock tests before they appear for CLAT 2019.
