preparation strategy for the CLAT and CUET

What is the preparation strategy for the CLAT and CUET belonging to arts background from 11th class most probably from home?

CLAT and CUET, both exams, are highly competitive in nature and cannot be taken easily. This means that the only way to crack such exams is through strong preparation and an honest attempt. Therefore, students are required to follow a strategic approach as soon as they start preparing for these exams. A student who is currently in the 11th class has ample time to thoroughly prepare for the exams. With almost 1.5 years available to prepare for CLAT and 2 years in hand for CUET, students can properly prepare a schedule so that they are on track to crack not only one but both exams with flying colours. Hence, a few things that students should incorporate in their preparation strategy are:

  • Do not miss out on any information regarding these exams- Before we buy a car, we always do thorough research about the car’s average, engine power, efficiency, etc. After knowing everything about the car, we make a decision to finally buy it. Competitive exams are also like a car where the students have to gather all the information about these exams. They should know the exam structure, marking scheme, syllabus, eligibility criteria, mode of examination, languages in which one can take exams, etc. Knowing this information beforehand is necessary to create any strategy for preparation that could be tailor-made and is useful for students in simultaneously preparing for both exams.
    • Watch interviews of those who had cracked these exams– As you are in 11th class, you have the privilege that you have ample time to prepare. So, to make this time effective and to get an edge over others, it is necessary to hear what toppers have to say about these exams. Not only do such interviews provide a source of motivation, but they also provide students with an idea of how will their next two years look like while preparing for these exams. A reality check is given to students through such interviews which is very necessary for comprehensive preparation. 
    • Study routine is of utmost importance– It is necessary that students follow a routine to prepare for exams. Studying one or two random days in a week for 8 hours while not studying for the remaining days will be counter-productive. By following a study schedule, even if it is for 2 hours each day, students can ensure consistency, reduce stress, and improve focus and concentration.
    • Subject-wise approach– No subject is less important to study. When you are preparing for competitive exams, you do not leave any subject and focus only on the easiest ones. For your preparation, study each and every topic of each subject irrespective of how tough that topic is. Prepare a timetable accordingly so that during your journey of preparation, every subject has been given adequate attention. It is a human tendency that some topics would look easy while some may look difficult. However, a student who is able to clear exams does not have to walk with such an attitude. The student’s aim should be to ensure maximization of marks and for which no stone should be left unturned.
    • Try to build conceptual knowledge over superficial knowledge– Whenever you are studying and preparing for exams, aim to understand the topic thoroughly rather than skimming it through. As you are in 11th class and have a lot of time in hand for preparation, you should focus on developing concepts and building foundational pillars so that the topics and concepts you study remain in your mind even till one day before the examination and you don’t have to give a lot of time in revising it. Even more, these competitive exams actually check your conceptual skills over theoretical skills, and hence, it is only a win-win situation for students to focus on conceptual understanding.
    • Reading should be your priority- Reading books, newspapers, articles, etc. should be your priority during preparation for exams. Not only will reading help you improve your comprehensive skills, but it will also help you improve your reading speed, it will give you access to new vocabulary, and most importantly, it will help you stay updated with different things happening around you, and will help you in making your opinion. All these things are extremely crucial for both of these competitive exams. Hence, reading should be on your preparation bucket list as a matter of priority.
