Year 1 (Class 11): Build habits
- Read a newspaper editorial every day.
- Learn 10 new words a week in context.
- Understand basic legal ideas: rights, contracts, negligence, crimes.
- Take one CLAT-style mock every month.
Year 2 (Class 12): Exam focus
- Sectional tests every week, a full mock every week after board exams.
- Revise current affairs of the last 12 months.
- Keep board exam preparation steady — it also improves reading and writing.
Tips for parents
Encourage reading, avoid comparison with other students and track mock trends rather than single scores.
