The last 45 days before the CLAT may end up deciding if you finish within the Top 500 vs outside of 5000. At this point of time, the goal is NOT syllabus completion. The goal is improvement from here on out. The exam does not even technically reward syllabus completion – it rewards retention, recall, mock testing consistency, accuracy and remaining calm and collected under pressure.
This blog is your no nonsense, result driven, well thought out 45 day plan – It includes two different pathways for students who are very strong and those who may be a little behind schedule, a weekly table for your CLAT study timetable and your mock testing + CLAT revision plan, all of which will guarantee successful score improvement in your mocks week to week, if you are executing it honestly.
Some preliminary phase mindset work – What matters in 45 days… –
At this point in time – the only five things that matter at this point in time are:
- Mocks
- Analysis
- Revision
- GK/CA Revision
- Time Management & Accuracy
If your daily effort is not improving any of the above, you are wasting time.
CLAT STRATEGY FOR TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS
1) STRONG Student – already sitting at 80+ in mocks:
Goal – level up 80 → 85+ → 95+
Focus Areas:
- Increased accuracy over attempts
- Sectional weakness elimination
- Advanced mock analysis
- Strictly 0 guessing
2) STRUGGLING Student – sitting below 60 in mocks:
Goal – level up to 70+
Focus Areas:
- Conceptual summarization first, then mocks
- Beefing up your — GK+LA is the backbone or the fastest improvement here
- Reduce negative marking
- Build confidence with small wins in study daily.
CLAT STUDY PLAN – WEEK-WISE 45-DAY PLAN
| Phase | Days | Target |
| Phase 1: Stabilisation | Day 1–15 | Fix basics, improve accuracy, GK recall |
| Phase 2: Acceleration | Day 16–30 | Full mocks + deep analysis + weak-area repair |
| Phase 3: Peak | Day 31–45 | Exam-simulation, speed + accuracy + memory polish |
CLAT STRATEGY – SECTION-WISE FINAL 45-DAY PLAN
LEGAL REASONING (This is the CORE FOR RANKS)
- Focus on principle → keyword → eliminate approach
Don’t overthink the question. Avoid moral logic. - Practice past year question tone, editorials, mock question tone.
Daily Target: 3 passages + 20 mins revision of mistakes
ENGLISH (This is the section of MAXIMUM CONTROL)
- Look for Inference, Tone, Main Idea, Author’s Opinion
- Don’t read passage/ question line by line — read for arguments.
- Elimination of possible answers (2 are definitely wrong, 1 is doubtful, choose fit).
Daily targets: 2RC + 10 revision of vocab/idioms.
CURRENT AFFAIRS / GK (FASTEST SCORING section)
- You will only follow issues / current affairs that are relevant (not depth of UPSC).
- You should revisit the same material 5-7 times.
- Monthly Compendium on priority.
Daily target: 45 minutes (read. revise. quiz.)
LOGICAL REASONING
- Determine the argument and flaws, assumptions.
- Identify traps for wrong answers (extremes of choices, emotional choice, casual logic).
- Time yourself when practicing.
Target- 2 passages (timed)
QUANT / MATHS
- Attempt only accuracy-based questions
- Look for patterns and topics that others consider ‘simple’: Ratio, percentage, Profit and Loss, SI-CI, Graphs, Tables.
Daily targets: 30-45 minutes.
CLAT MOCK Schedule (Strictly Follow This)
Weeks Mocks
Week 1–2 2 mocks/week
Week 3–4 3 mocks/week
Week 5–6 4 mocks/week
Rule:
Mock : Analysis = 1 : 2
(If your mock took 2 hours, analysis mustl take 4 hours)
CLAT MOCK ANALYSIS STEPS (True Game Changer)
Check these 6 things after every mock:
- Which questions wasted my time?
- Which questions I should NOT have attempted?
- What killed my accuracy?
- How many errors were because of not enough time?
- Which section pushed my momentum down?
- What will I NOT do in next mock?
Unless you analyse like this, mocks are worthless.
CLAT Daily Routine (Repeat this for 45 days)
Slot Activity
Morning GK + 1 Sectional
Afternoon Legal + English practice
Evening LR/Math + Revision
Night Mock Exam OR Analysis OR GK Recall
Last 7-day Booster
- Stop Learning New Stuff
- Only revise
- Have 2 mocks (not 7)
- Sleep cycle = Exam-timing cycle
- Lower anxiety → be able to recall
