Few areas of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) are as important—or as daunting—as Critical Reasoning.

First and most vital part is to understand and recognize the character of Critical reasoning in Clat:

Recognize what this section actually tests before you begin to practice. The CLAT passages are of (roughly 300–450 words), following that you are asked to identify:

• The primary contention or conclusion
• The underlying presumption of an argument
• The logical conclusion that results
• An argument's strength or weakness
• The questions focus on your critical thinking skills, which are crucial for law students, rather than your legal knowledge.
• Therefore, reading critically is essential to getting a perfect score. You're reading to analyse the reasoning, not just to comprehend.

Build your basics:

Begin by comprehending the fundamental ideas of premise, conclusion, assumption, and inference. Examine editorials to determine the tone and argument of the writers. Every day, complete two to three brief reasoning exercises from the Practice Zone of Flames CLAT. Then you can start solving mocks on alternate days for full length practice.

• Assuming beyond the passage: Stick strictly to what’s stated or implied. Don’t bring in outside facts.
• Falling for extreme options: Words like always or never often indicate wrong choices.
• Not analysing mistakes: Reviewing wrong answers improves reasoning faster than solving new sets.
