Quick answer: Roughly seventy percent of law entrance preparation is shared across exams: reading comprehension, logical and legal reasoning, and current affairs. Build that core daily. Reserve the remaining thirty percent for format-specific practice — question count, time limit and negative marking rule — in the two to three weeks before each paper.

The 70/30 split in practice

  • Daily core: one comprehension passage, one reasoning set, one legal reasoning set, 20 minutes of current affairs
  • Format blocks: full mocks of the specific exam, clustered before that exam

Manage negative marking differences

Write each exam's penalty on the top of your mock sheet. Practise a different attempt threshold for each: a heavier penalty means a higher confidence bar before you mark an answer.

Avoiding burnout

Two hours of focused, reviewed work beats six unreviewed hours. Protect one lighter day a week and keep a fixed sleep schedule through the mock season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one plan cover CLAT, PU Law and AILET?

Yes, because roughly seventy percent of the work — reading comprehension, reasoning, legal aptitude and current affairs — is shared. The remaining thirty percent is format-specific practice.

How do I handle different negative marking rules?

Learn each paper's rule and practise attempt strategy separately in mocks. Guessing behaviour should change with the penalty.

Does preparing for many exams reduce my main score?

Only if you keep switching formats close to the exam. Keep the core shared and isolate format practice into short blocks.

How many mocks per week?

One full mock plus two sectional tests is sustainable for most students, rising to two or three full mocks in the final month.
