​Final Two-Week Preparation Strategy for Aspirants

​With the exam day rapidly approaching, your strategy must pivot from learning new concepts to consolidation, practice, and maximizing retention of existing knowledge.

• ​Prioritize High-Yield Topics:
  • ​Revisit your notes and bare acts for the 10-mark and 8-mark subjects first (Constitutional Law, CPC, CrPC, IPC, Evidence, Family Law).
  • ​Focus on Case Laws pertaining to landmark judgments in these critical areas, as they often form the basis of questions.
  • ​Review Professional Ethics and Cases of Professional Misconduct (4 Questions), as this is a relatively scoreable section based on the BCI Rules.
• ​Simulation and Practice Tests: 
  • ​Attempt at least three to five full-length AIBE mock tests under timed conditions (3 hours 30 minutes) to simulate the exam environment.
  • ​Analyze your performance in these mocks meticulously. Identify your weakest subjects and dedicate short, targeted revision sessions to them.
  • ​Practice time management to ensure you can confidently attempt all 100 questions within the allotted time.
• ​Bare Act Familiarity (The Open Book Advantage): 
  • ​Although the AIBE is technically "open book" (for bare acts without commentary/notes), time is limited. You won't have time to look up every answer.
  • ​The open-book policy's real benefit lies in its psychological reassurance and the ability to quickly verify obscure section numbers or key terms.
  • ​Familiarize yourself with the structure and indexing of the key Bare Acts you plan to carry, like Cr.P.C, I.P.C., C.P.C., and Evidence Act, so you can find information quickly. Do not rely on looking up every answer.

​Conclusion

​The release of the AIBE XX (20) admit cards on November 15, 2025, signals the final sprint for all law graduates ready to embark on their professional journey. The next two weeks require discipline, a focused revision plan based on the syllabus weightage, and rigorous practice to achieve the minimum qualifying score. Ensure all your documentation is in order, stay calm, and approach the exam on November 30th with confidence.
