Harshita : Congratulations Meenal on achieving this feat, During the preparation did AILET AIR 1 & CLAT AIR 2 ever came across your mind?

Meenal : No, neither seemed realistic at that time. It was a pleasant surprise to see the results.

Harshita: There are different fields after 12th, what motivated you to make a career in law?

Meenal: I chose Humanities because of an interest in the subjects, it was simply an extension of that and of reading about the field and what it entails.

Harshita: Was this your first attempt at CLAT? When did you start preparing for the law entrance exams and what strategies you use in particular for your preparation?

Meenal : Yes, it was my first attempt. I started preparing about a year ago and preparation mostly consisted of strengthening the basics and analysis of mocks.

Harshita : Choosing the right Books and Preparation material have always been a concern for many students preparing for CLAT. So according to you which are some of the best books for preparation that you recommend for CLAT 2022 for each of the 5 sections and overall?

Meenal : There are no particular books, just revising the basics of law from any material for sections besides Gk. And newspaper and different sources depending on the topic for GK

Harshita: What advice would you like to give the future CLAT aspirants & share with us the strategies you used to stay motivated on your exam days.

Meenal: Majorly, just stay focused, and even if you feel demotivated keep on doing whatever you have planned for the day. Clat requires speed and comprehension together, so regular mocks are important.

Harshita : What is the ideal time to start taking mock Tests & What role do mock tests play in CLAT Preparation? What were your strategies in particular towards mock tests?

Meenal : As soon as possible. Even if all the topics are not covered, attempting mocks gives an idea of which area to strengthen and how to strengthen it.

Harshita: Mocks are important for CLAT because attempting a variety of mocks (different difficulty levels) prepares you and helps you build a strategy for the actual paper.

Meenal : I gave mocks regularly, and apart from mock to mock analysis, grouped together 3-4 mocks to identify the weak areas. This helped me pull up the score in most sections.
