How to manage your boards CLAT
preparation? For any student who is in the 12th
class, Board exams are extremely crucial for
them. However, the tension and level of stress
get double-fold when you are also preparing for
any tough competitive entrance tests like CLAT,
etc. Students who are planning to give any
competitive exam with their 12th class are
confused as to how they should manage their
preparation for both things at the same time. It
is expected that a student must focus on flexible
division of mind rather than strict allocation of
time. First of all, one should avoid making a
rigid time-table that too which is unrealistic to
follow as it would serve no good but only
depression and anxiety. A student should ensure
in making a time- table that gives enough
flexibility to accommodate any contingencies. No
one can predict what is going to happen at each
moment. It is recommended that one should make a
routine time-table where you focus more on
completing certain topics for both the exams
rather than devoting a particular number of
hours each day. More than that, a time-table
should be weekly in nature wherein a student
should allot themselves topics to study for a
week rather than for a certain day. This
approach gives freedom to a student to study at
any hour whenever they wish to and they would
not have to force themselves at any period when
they dont feel to study. Moreover, it would
allow having greater autonomy in managing your
daily routine which will help in gaining self-
confidence. Another thing is to be ensured that
you keep a weekly check-up of your progress and
make sure that you are covering the syllabus of
both the exams simultaneously. It is not advised
that you are giving equal time to both the exams
at the same time. Allocation of time and topics
on the basis of the exam can be done by
appropriate planning. As the CLAT exam from this
year would be taking place in the month of
December rather than in the month of May, it is
certainly a relief for aspirants because now one
can prioritize preparation for CLAT for an
initial semester and in the next semester, one
can escalate their preparation for Board exams.
So, it is suggested that till the month of
December, CLAT preparation should amount to
60-70 of your time while the remaining time can
be reserved for your Board exam preparation.
After December, this should be reversed where one
should allocate maximum time for Boards
preparation and some time for preparing for other
law entrance exams if one is planning to give
them as well. Finally, it is for the betterment
of a student that they may not work under
extremely stressful conditions rather they
should allow proper mind-set to take a lead.
Smart work is the key to manage both things at
the same time. One must ensure that they are
taking proper guidance from their mentors and
are using time in the most appropriate way rather
than adopting a trial and error method. It is
also recommended that exhaust the best resources
and rely on trustful study materials for
preparation so that every effort that is being
made is making you ready for your exam. Here at
MLC, we ensure that we give adequate care to each
student and help them whenever they need any
advice or counselling so that a student does not
face any difficuly or get derailed from their
track. Morever, our aim is to provide the
exhaustive and resourceful material to students

to look for any outher material. At the outset,
it is not deniable that managing both things at
the same time might become an arduous task for
any student. Nevertheless, your determination
and focus would help you in sailing your boat.
The journey would

be difficult but full of adventure and
self-exploration that will make you a stronger
person in the end.
