Summary: One focused week can lift your score if you revise with intent. This 7-day plan rebuilds core concepts in Legal Reasoning, Current Affairs and Static GK, and Quantitative Techniques, while fitting in timed practice and analysis. It assumes CLAT 2026 is on 7 December 2025, so the emphasis is speed, accuracy, and retention.

How to use this plan

  • Study blocks are 60–75 minutes with 10–15 minute breaks.

  • Every day includes a short speed drill, a retention drill, and a review block.

  • Keep one notebook each for Legal, GK, and Quant. Maintain an error log for all three.

  • Aim for 5–6 hours total per day. If you have less time, keep the structure but shorten blocks.


Day 1: Baseline and structure

Goal: Get a clean picture of where you stand and set your revision targets.

Diagnostic mini-mock (60 minutes): 15 Legal, 20 GK, 10 Quant. Time yourself.

Legal reset (60 minutes): Revisit the big four: torts, contract, criminal law, constitutional fundamentals. Skim concise notes, then solve 10 principle-fact questions per topic.

GK plan (45 minutes): Pick your sources for the next 7 days. Fix the months you will revise. Decide a daily quota, for example two months per day.

Quant map (45 minutes): List all topics. Mark three priority areas from percentages, ratio-proportion, averages, time-speed-distance, time-work, and DI.

Error log set-up (20 minutes): Create three sections: mistake, cause, fix. Add flags for revisit on Day 4 and Day 7.

Output: A one-page plan with topic targets and daily quotas.

Day 2: Legal accuracy + GK Month 1–2 + Quant foundations

Legal (120 minutes)

  • Read two short legal principles per domain. For each, write the trigger words and conditions.

  • Solve 40 principle-fact questions in sets of 10. After each set, spend 5 minutes checking only the logic that failed.

  • Note patterns, for example confusing exceptions or importing outside facts.


GK and Current Affairs (75 minutes)

  • Revise two months of CA. For each month, extract 15 one-line facts and 5 why-it-matters notes.

  • Make a two-column recap: fact on the left, context on the right. This helps with inference-style GK.


Quant (60 minutes)

  • Percentages and ratio-proportion drills. Do 25 questions. Focus on fraction to percent conversions and ratio to share splits.

  • Close with a 5-minute mental math burst: tables, common fractions, squares.

Retention drill (15 minutes)

  • Teach back one tricky legal rule and one GK item aloud in one minute each.

Day 3: Legal exceptions + GK Month 3–4 + DI starter

Legal (120 minutes)

  • Focus on exceptions and defenses: consent, necessity, self-defense, vitiated consent in contract, general exceptions in criminal law.

  • Solve 30 questions where two rules collide. Write why the exception overrides, not just the final answer.


GK and Current Affairs (75 minutes)

  • Revise two more months. Add a mini-list of schemes, committees, constitutional developments, international groupings.


Quant (60 minutes)

  • Data Interpretation basics. One table, one bar graph, one pie chart set. Track time per question and accuracy.


Speed drill (10 minutes)

  • 10 Legal questions, 60 seconds cap. Push recognition of triggers.

Day 4: Time pressure rehearsal + GK Month 5–6 + Quant mix


Timed legal set (45 minutes)

  • 30 Legal questions under strict time. Mark all guesses and all slow attempts.


Review legal (30 minutes)

  • For every wrong or slow item, write the single trigger you missed. Add to error log with a Day 7 revisit flag.


GK and Current Affairs (75 minutes)

  • Revise two more months. Build a 10-item “most testable” list per month. Include 2–3 court rulings or legal developments.


Quant (60 minutes)

  • Averages and mixtures, then time-speed-distance. 10 questions each. Write one line per question on the method you used.


Retention drill (15 minutes)

  • Flash review of your Day 2 and Day 3 legal triggers. Aim for recall, not reread.

Day 5: Legal passages + GK static binder + DI accuracy

Legal (100 minutes)

  • Solve 4 legal mini-passages of 7–8 questions each. Focus on reading the principle once with a pencil, underlining conditions and exceptions.

  • After each passage, summarise the principle in 15 words. Compare your summary with how you used it.


GK static (60 minutes)

  • Build a quick static binder: Constitution basics, schedules, articles that appear often, amendments in the news, national parks, rivers, bodies and headquarters, top reports and indices.

  • Create 50 flash prompts. Keep them short and testable.


Quant (60 minutes)

DI accuracy round. Two sets at exam level. Track wrongs by error type: misread axis, wrong percent base, ratio slip, rushed approximation.


Speed drill (10 minutes)

  • 10 GK quick hits from your flash prompts.

Day 6: Mixed sectional rehearsal

  • 90-minute sectional mix

  • 20 Legal, 25 GK, 15 Quant. Strict timing. Bubble answers as you go to simulate pressure.


Deep review (60 minutes)

  • For each mistake, label cause: concept gap, trigger missed, misread, panic switch, time squeeze. Write the specific fix, not a generic “revise.”


GK consolidation (60 minutes)

  • Build a one-page sheet of the week’s 30 most likely GK items with a why line for each.


Quant refresh (40 minutes)

  • Hit your two weakest topics for 20 minutes each. Close with three DI questions to guard against fatigue-based errors.


Mindset reset (10 minutes)

  • Write your exam sequence for these sections, for example Legal then GK then Quant, with minute targets and buffer time.

Day 7: Mini-mock and final polish

Mini-mock (120 minutes)

  • Sit a 120-minute paper but only attempt Legal, GK, and Quant in your planned order. Respect your section cutoffs and buffer.


Targeted review (60 minutes)

  • Update error log. Circle any error that repeated from earlier in the week. Those become your first 20-minute drills next week.


Last-mile pack (30 minutes)


Create a compact kit:

  • Legal: two pages of triggers and common exceptions.

  • GK: the one-page most likely sheet, plus the flash prompts.

  • Quant: one page of key formulas and percent-fraction pairs.


Light recall (15 minutes)

  • Close the day with recall only, no new learning.

What to measure each day

Legal: Questions per hour and accuracy. Watch if accuracy drops when you speed up.

GK: Items recalled in one pass. Can you explain why it matters.

Quant: Time per question and dominant error type.

Overall: Number of repeated errors. Your aim is to cut repeats to near zero by Day 7.

Common mistakes to avoid this week

  • Reading legal principles twice without marking the condition words.

  • Revising all GK instead of the months you selected.

  • Chasing new Quant topics instead of cleaning up accuracy on core arithmetic and DI.

  • Skipping review to “do more questions.” Gains come from analysis, not volume.

Quick resource checklist

  • Concise legal notes grouped by domain.

  • Monthly CA PDFs for the months you chose.

  • A static GK sheet you build yourself.

  • Quant formula sheet and a DI set bank.

  • Timer, OMR practice sheet, and an error log.


If you have only 3 hours a day

Legal: 60 minutes timed set plus 10 minutes review.

GK: 40 minutes one month plus 5 minutes why-it-matters notes.

Quant: 40 minutes drills plus 5 minutes mental math.

Carry-over: Do a 30-minute deeper review the next day before starting fresh.


Where NLTI fits into this plan

Legal clean-ups: Mentor-made principle packs and exception drills that mirror exam logic.

GK focus: Monthly CLAT-style digests and one-page “why it matters” sheets to improve retention.

Quant discipline: Short daily drills and DI practice aligned to the paper’s level.

Analysis support: Mock reviews that tag your error types and convert them into next-week tasks.

CLAT 2026 study plan: Structured calendars that plug this 7-day loop into your larger schedule.


Use this week to rebuild accuracy and timing in the three sections that most often decide ranks. Keep the structure, measure what matters, and let analysis drive what you study next.

FAQs

1. Can I follow this 7-day revision plan if I am still covering basics for CLAT 2026?

Yes. If you’re still learning basics, shorten practice drills and spend more time revising core concepts. The plan works as long as you adapt intensity to your level.


2. How many hours should I dedicate daily during this 7-day revision cycle?

Ideally 7–8 focused hours per day, broken into Legal (3 hrs), GK (2 hrs), Quant (1.5 hrs), plus 30–45 mins for mocks or error logs.


3. Should I attempt a full mock every day in the last 7 days?

No. Attempt 3 full mocks in the week, with a deep review the following day. Overloading on daily mocks without analysis leads to fatigue.


4. How can I revise static GK effectively in just 7 days?

Use one reliable GK compendium, revise important themes (Constitution, Geography, Awards, International Treaties), and attempt 50–70 MCQs daily for recall.


5. Is it okay to skip Quant revision if I am weak in Legal and GK?

No. Even 8–10 accurate Quant questions can raise your rank significantly. Dedicate at least 1–1.5 hrs daily to Quant for formula drills and DI sets.


6. How should I balance Legal Reasoning revision in the final week?

Prioritize solving principle-based passages from PYQs and mocks. Focus on speed of application rather than reading theory.


7. Can I revise current affairs of the entire year in 7 days?

Not realistically. Instead, focus on the last 6–8 months, with special emphasis on legal events, international news, and government schemes.


8. Should I take breaks while following this intense 7-day plan?

Yes. Short breaks (10–15 mins every 2 hours) help maintain focus. Avoid burnout by mixing lighter GK revision with heavy Legal or Quant drills.
