ABOUT THE WEBINAR
The webinar began with our speaker addressing a very important yet a topic which most people confuse with, i.e., the distinction between studying & preparing.
Studying is building your foundation and providing information to your brain for a different exam to give. You study for your own self, at your own pace in your own way by your own style. It can be done by discussion and answering according to your knowledge, reading books, etc.
Preparation imagine your target is the exam which is approaching in 3 months, including today there are only 64-68 days for CLAT PG, we all are strongly tempted by the idea of perfection. “I will learn the law in 3 months” – this is a flawed strategy as you do it because you are guilt of not knowing the law, in an examination where everybody will never be fully prepared
You prepare three to four months prior to your exams. We prepare to be confident enough to sit through the exam. In that time bound zone. And know the difficulty level examination you take question bank and solve them.
After explaining to us the difference between the two, he gave us some very useful tips on how to approach such exams:
- Falling prey to the temptation of CONTINUOUS STUDYING and not preparing should be avoided.
- Focus on the recent judgment.
- Succumbing to anxiety or falling prey to fear of not knowing any acts. It is a competition against people like you, who are as imperfect as you are.
- Give mock tests and exams.
- Take a practical approach- calculate the time you have and how much preparation is left for you, and then go ahead and work the syllabus out.
- Prepared for the feeling of being not prepared to know the question.
- A good strategy entails to downloading the syllabus of the exam and it tells you about what they are looking for in the individual.
- Identify what subjects require more confidence and preparation.
- Do not follow the same formula and preparation for the exams. Different exam. Different strategy.
At the end of the session, the speaker answered the participants queries which included questions like “how much time should one drop to get a rank in CLAT”, “how to make a full-proof plan for cracking the judicial exams”, “how to prepare the more theoretical subjects”, etc.
