The twenty-minute routine
- Five minutes: front page and national news.

- Five minutes: international and legal or judicial news.
- Five minutes: write your one-line entries.
Weekly and monthly layers
- Sunday: revise the week's entries aloud
- Month end: a compiled revision plus a 30-question self-test
Why this beats bulk reading
Law entrance papers ask about significance and context more than trivia. Short, dated, revised lines produce recall; long unrevised notes produce comfort but not marks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which newspaper should I read?
One national daily read consistently beats three read occasionally. Pick one and stay with it for the full preparation cycle.
How far back should current affairs go?
Roughly the twelve months before the exam, with heavier emphasis on the final six.
Should I make notes?
Yes, but short ones: one line per event with date, people involved and why it matters. Long notes never get revised.
What categories matter most for law exams?
Constitutional and judicial developments, new legislation, international affairs, government schemes, awards, appointments and sports.
