CLAT 2026: 60-Day Smart Revision Plan for Success
Share this article:
Summary:
The final 60 days before CLAT 2026 can define your rank. This is when strategies shift from learning to mastering.
Most toppers agree: how you revise now is far more important than what you study.
This blog breaks down a practical and well-researched revision plan for the last two months.
Every tip is aligned with what top coaching platforms like LegalEdge and Toprankers recommend.
Build a 60-Day Timetable Before Anything Else
Start by dividing your remaining days into three 20-day cycles.
Use the first 20 days to revise every subject broadly. In the second cycle, zoom into weak areas and attempt tougher mocks.
The last 20 days are for pure mock analysis, micro-revision, and mental readiness.
Each day, spend:
2–3 hours on subject-wise revision
1 hour on reading practice (editorials, opinion columns, etc.)
2 hours on giving or analysing a mock
30 mins on vocab and grammar brush-up
Avoid open-ended study days. Without structure, revision becomes scattered and inefficient.
Prioritise Smart Revision Over Just Re-Reading Notes
Instead of reading the same notes repeatedly, solve application-based questions.
This applies especially to legal reasoning, critical reasoning, and GK.
What works best:
Revisit previously attempted questions that you got wrong
Review bookmarked concepts that confused you in mocks
Use flashcards or Excel for GK revision instead of long articles
Focus more on how you solve rather than what you solve
Active recall and spaced repetition techniques will help retain information far better than passive rereading.

Double Down on Mock Tests
From now on, you should attempt 3–4 full-length mocks every week. By the final 20 days, move to alternate-day mocks.
Use mocks to simulate exam conditions—fixed time, no breaks, and strict OMR/bubble marking if possible. Track:
Accuracy in each section
Time spent per section
Type of errors (silly vs conceptual)
We advise using mock analysis to create a “Mistake Tracker” where you write down the logic behind each error and how to avoid it. Revise each mock’s explanation thoroughly, even if you got the answer right.
General Knowledge: The Most Neglected But Game-Changing Section
Don’t just cram current affairs. Make your revision predictive and thematic.
Focus on:
Recurring topics like judiciary updates, international organizations, government schemes, climate reports, and major appointments
Static GK linked with current affairs (e.g., Ram Temple + Ayodhya history)
One-liner revisions daily through question banks or monthly compendiums
We suggest dividing your GK into weekly themes (e.g., Week 1: Polity + Judiciary; Week 2: International Affairs + Science Tech) to avoid overlap and burnout.

Legal Reasoning: It’s About Speed with Precision
Revise legal concepts, but don’t get stuck in theory. Solve at least 15 legal passages every 3 days, focusing on accuracy under time.
Key CLAT 2026 revision advice from toppers:
Prioritise recent landmark judgments
Practice questions where multiple principles clash
Strengthen your ability to identify assumptions and conclusions quickly
Avoid overcomplicating; go for the most logically sound answer, not the emotionally satisfying one
Mentors emphasize pattern recognition: you’ll notice that many legal questions test similar types of reasoning in different contexts.

Reading Comprehension: How You Read Matters More Than How Much
This is where high ranks are won or lost. Revise your RC strategy, not just passages.
What works:
Daily reading of diverse topics: philosophy, science, law, politics
Practice 2 RCs every day: one with annotation and one with skimming strategy
Review questions where you eliminated the right answer by mistake
Build tolerance for dense texts—CLAT often chooses boring but important passages
Toppers suggest practicing from past mocks, not just random websites.
Familiarity with CLAT-style RCs matters more than generic reading skill.
Critical Reasoning and Quant: Don’t Let These Hurt Your Score
Many students ignore these two areas in revision, thinking they’ll “just get by.” That’s risky.
For CR:
Practice assumption, inference, and argument-weakening questions daily
Use past CLAT, AILET, and LSAT India papers
Revise informal logic terms—necessary vs sufficient, correlation vs causation, etc.
For Quant:
Revise bar graph, line chart, and pie chart problems
Build speed for simple arithmetic: averages, percentages, ratios
Practice mental calculation through apps or 10-minute drills
Spend at least 6 hours per week on these two combined.

Build an Exam-Day Mindset
It’s not just about what you know. It’s about staying calm when it matters. Use the last 15 days to:
Attempt mocks during your actual exam slot (usually morning)
Simulate noise or time pressure to build resistance
Prepare a “1-page” cheat sheet per section for last-day glance
Sleep on time and eat light before mocks
Remember: CLAT rewards clarity and calm under stress. Build that muscle now.

FAQs: Last 60 Days CLAT Strategy
1. Should I focus more on mocks or revision now?
Balance both. Early on, focus on revision; in the last 30 days, mocks and analysis should dominate.
2. Is it too late to improve my rank now?
No. Many students make 10–15 rank jumps in the final month with smart strategy and discipline.
3. Can I skip Current Affairs if I’m weak at it?
No. It’s a high-weightage section. Just revise selected topics; don't aim for 100% coverage.
4. How many mocks per week is ideal now?
3–4 initially, then taper down to 2 in the final 15 days.
5. Should I revise all subjects daily?
Rotate them, but do Current Affairs and Legal every day.
6. How do I handle panic and low mock scores now?
See every mock as practice. Focus on accuracy and learning from mistakes, not just scores.
7. What’s the best source for final GK revision?
NLTI digests, monthly compilations, and CLAT-centric YouTube videos work best.
8. Is it okay to revise from old notes only?
Yes, if your notes are reliable. Don’t start new books now.
9. Should I stop all social media now?
If it distracts you, yes. Use it only for study material if needed.
10. Can I rely only on YouTube revision videos?
Combine them with active practice. Videos are helpful but not a replacement for self-work.
