How to Improve Your Mock Scores in CLAT
Mocks form the foundation of CLAT preparation. Every topper will attest that their maximum improvement occurred not just by reading or re-reading but by writing mocks daily and seriously learning from them. Yet many aspirants feel they are stuck in a dead situation where their scores aren't improving even after taking scores of tests.
If you’ve been there, this article is for you. Here’s a practical strategy to improve your mock scores and build real exam confidence.
1. Understand That Mocks Are Learning Tools, Not Judgment Tools
Most aspirants get nervous when they do badly in mocks and start doubting their preparation. Remember that mocks are meant to show you your weaknesses so that you can rectify them before the real exam. Each mock is an opportunity to learn CLAT's real "thinking."
After every test, take a minimum of two hours to go through it inch by inch, question by question thoroughly, without time pressure. Your goal is not to find where you went wrong but why.

2. Identify Your Weaknesses and Strengths
Keep a small notebook with the heading "Mock Tracker” and after every mock, record:
- Overall mark and percentile
- Section-by-section performance
- Types of questions on which you lost time or marks
After 4–5 mocks, there will be trends emerging. Maybe you're strong at English but not Quant, or you're fast at reading but wrong at GK facts. Having clarity works to channel your efforts where they matter.
3. Master the Skill of Time Management
Content is familiar to most CLAT aspirants.. speed and priorities make toppers.
Try this golden rule:
English: 25 minutes
Current Affairs & GK: 10–12 minutes
Legal Reasoning: 35 minutes
Logical Reasoning: 30 minutes
Quantitative Techniques: 15 minutes

Practice-wise, create a stopwatch so your mind automatically switches sections. The more mocks you do with a time target, the automatic your speed gets.

4. How to Review Your Mistakes Wisely
There are three general types of errors:
1. Conceptual errors where you weren't acquainted with the topic.
2. Comprehension errors where you misread the question.
3. Silly mistakes where you skipped reading or marked the wrong choice.
Create a "mistake log." Note down the question, your type of mistake, and the correction. Revising this log before each mock is one of the best ways to prevent recurrence of errors.
5. Balance Accuracy and Attempts
More tries do not always mean a better score. Most candidates lose marks with excessive tries. Try to maintain 85–90% accuracy even with slightly lower try as CLAT prefers accuracy and consistent reading, not guessing.

6. Build Your Stamina and Focus
A two-hour test with long comprehension passages calls for physical and mental stamina.
To build focus:
- Try full-length mocks in one sitting with no distractions at all.
- Read legal paragraphs and newspaper articles daily for improving concentration.
- Do not look at scores immediately; first, examine your strategy and mindset.
7. Learn from Toppers' Strategy
Toppers always follow one golden rule: They never leave a mock on waste.
They make every one as difficult as the real test, study every paragraph they solved wrongly, and attempt difficult mocks again after 2–3 weeks. Such practice converts weaknesses into strengths.

8. Keep Yourself Updated with Current GK and Legal
Mocks typically feature questions from current judgments, developments, or major world events. Therefore, your legal and current affairs preparation must be consistent.
Use FLAMES CLAT's GK Sureshot and Legal Compendium as both of these books have the most relevant to exam updates and legal reasoning practice passages collated by experts.

For the past couple of weeks before CLAT, focus all your time on mocks and their review.
Take back your previous mocks, rewrite your error log, and just keep revisiting your weak areas over and over. If you do so sincerely, your scores will increase steadily.
FLAMES Expert Tips
Take at least 25–30 full-length mocks before CLAT.
Go through each mock thoroughly before moving to the next.
Keep updating your error notebook regularly.
Use FLAMES GK Sureshot for current affairs and Legal Compendium for reasoning practice.
Be consistent and composed as the scores improve slowly, not in one night.

It's not about answering more questions to better your mock marks; it's about understanding your own test-taking psychology. Steady practice, rigorous analysis, and constant revision will make you feel real improvement. Each mock you attempt takes you closer to your dream NLU. Stay dedicated, stay disciplined, and trust the process.
