Month-Wise Study Plan

August: Building the Foundation

·        Know the Pattern of Questions: Review the entire CLAT Quantitative Techniques syllabus to gain a clear understanding of the types of questions that may be asked.

·        Prepare for Concept Review: Whenever you feel you need more practice with fundamental arithmetic concepts such as ratios, proportions, percentages, and profit and loss, take the time to review them. Some concepts can be quite complex, so online tutorials can be helpful for clarification.

·        Solve Initial Problems: Start by solving basic problems in these topics. This practice will undoubtedly improve your self-confidence and speed.

 

September: Focus on Core

1.      Move to Intermediate Lessons: Begin studying complex topics like mensuration. For example, assign each topic to a specific day for focused learning.

2.      Practice Data Interpretation: Start solving Data Interpretation (DI) problems to learn how to extract data from various sections of tables, bar charts, and line graphs. Mastering data interpretation and analysis is essential for understanding data and making quick, informed decisions.

3.      Timed Practice: To simulate the exam experience, time yourself while practicing. This will help you work faster and more accurately under pressure.

4.      Reflection: Review your mistakes and identify areas in your practice that need improvement. Some topics should be continuously reviewed and revised to ensure mastery.
