In this blog, we’ll walk you through a practical 10-day strategy to help you revise key concepts, maximize mock test benefits, and enter the exam hall with a calm, focused mind. Let’s get you exam-ready the right way.
As the NLSAT 2025 exam approaches, understanding the paper structure is essential to refine your final preparation strategy. The exam is divided into two parts Part A (Objective) and Part B (Subjective) each assessing different abilities and requiring distinct preparation approaches.
Only candidates who clear Part A will have their Part B evaluated, making it important to strike a balance between speed, accuracy, and analytical depth.
Marking Scheme: +1 for correct, -0.25 for incorrect
Purpose: Screening round only top scorers proceed to Part B
Marking Scheme: No negative marking
Purpose: Final merit evaluation – only for those who clear Part A
Part A determines whether your Part B will even be checked. Hence, precision and speed are critical.
Part B is where your writing, reasoning, and legal aptitude are evaluated for final selection.
The last 10 days must be used wisely to balance mock practice, revision, and writing fluency across both sections.

Practice Framing Short Answers for Part B in a Time-Bound Manner

Practice structuring concise, well-thought-out answers with clear legal reasoning.
Effective time management is crucial to ensure that you can answer all questions without feeling rushed or stressed. Here are a few time-saving strategies for both parts of the NLSAT 2025:
For Part A (Objective):
Speed is key:
Aim to answer each multiple-choice question (MCQ) in no more than 1 minute. If you’re unsure about a question, move on and return to it later.
Tackle easy questions first:
Quickly answer the questions you are confident about to maximize your score, and then circle back to harder ones.
Eliminate wrong answers:
If you’re unsure about an option, eliminate at least one or two choices to increase your chances of guessing correctly.
For Part B (Subjective):
Time your short answers:
Allocate 10–12 minutes per short-answer question to ensure you don’t run out of time. Use bullet points or subheadings to keep answers concise and organized.
Essay Writing:
Set a strict 30–35-minute limit for the essay. Spend the first 5 minutes planning, the next 25 minutes writing, and the last 5 minutes reviewing and editing your essay.
Stay Confident:
Trust in the preparation you've done over the last few weeks. Confidence is crucial for performing well under pressure.
Avoid Panic:
If you don’t know the answer to a question, don’t panic. Take a deep breath, move on, and revisit it if time permits.
Handling Surprises:
Expect the unexpected. There might be a tricky question or an unfamiliar topic. Stay calm and apply your reasoning skills.
One of the advantages of Part B is that there is no negative marking. This means you should attempt every question without fear of losing marks for wrong answers.
Even if you’re unsure, try to write something relevant. A partially correct answer is better than leaving it blank.
