To manage time during the CLAT exam, students should divide the allotted time among the different sections according to their preference. They should also allocate time for each question to understand which require more or less time. Students should read passages completely the first time to comprehend them fully rather than rereading. They should not spend too much time on unknown questions and instead move on so as not to run out of time. Practicing mock tests helps students gauge the difficulty level and estimate section-wise time requirements to be mentally prepared. A SWOT analysis also identifies strengths to capitalize on and weaknesses to improve.
