CLAT 2020 Preparation may get overwhelming due to pressure attached to grab a seat in top NLU. But worrying about the exam cannot determine the ultimate results. So it's better to seek the expertise of CLAT Coaching 2020 for professional advice and guidance required to ace the exam.  

While preparing for the CommonLaw Admission Test there are certain mistakes that aspirants often tend to make. So being a responsible institute, Success mantra provides five common mistakes that students should avoid while preparing for the most coveted exam of the country.

1. Inadequate practice- The first step towards effective coaching is to get familiarity with your potential and what exam is all about. It is quite a common misconception among the aspirants that a test is all about how much do you know. However, the fact is all the competitive exams are all you how well you prepare and perform in the same. Amidst COVID-19, CLAT 2020 exam date is postponed till 21st June 2020 so the students have more to practice questions. Thus, they are advised to practice at least 4-5 mock tests every week. This will make you well familiar with the examination pattern and syllabus.

2. Referring to too many books and sources for gathering information- It should be noted that CLAT is for the students who have completed 12th class so not much in-depth knowledge of topics is required. The test is not designed to the knowledge of any special topic or subject rather the question paper asks questions from the English Language, Current affairs, Analytical and logical reasoning. So as an aspirant don't refer to too many sources just opt books and study material which covers all the topics required for CLAT 2020.

3. Neglecting the negative marking in the exam-  A lot of aspirants do not pay attention to the negative marking resulting in losing quite crucial marks. As per the updated 1 mark would be awarded for each correct response and 0.25 marks would be deducted for incorrect ones. Therefore it is important to practice previous year question papers and mock tests for the effective calculation of marks.

4. Lack of Revision- Much like any other competitive exams, revision for CLAT is of utmost importance. A common mistake that aspirants often make is that they just go through topics once and do not revise it. Prepare effective revision flacks and it will act as your guidebook for the exam. The probability of topics increases if you read a topic more than once the same goes for CLAT.

5. Not to read newspapers before D-Day-  As mentioned above, CLAT is not an exam that tests knowledge of the particular subject. Topics like Current affairs and General Knowledge cannot be covered in a day. It requires a learning process, thus students are advised to read newspapers and GK Capsules at regular times. This will help them to tackle the surprised GK Questions asked in the exam.
