Strategic Preparation: Tips for SLAT Success

- General Knowledge: Dedicate time to current affairs, especially those related to national and international legal and political developments from the last year (2025).
- Reading Comprehension: Practice reading quickly and effectively. Since the questions are passage-based, focus on improving your comprehension speed and vocabulary.
- Practice and Time Management:
- Regularly take full-length SLAT mock tests following the exact 60-minute constraint. This is the single most effective way to improve your speed.
- Analyze your mock test results to identify weak sections and allocate more study time to them.
- Since there is no negative marking, developing a strategy to attempt all 60 questions within the time limit is paramount.
- Resource Utilization:
