In a year where Analytical Reasoning replaced Critical Reasoning and mock scores fluctuated heavily, Yajvin\u2019s ability to accept uncertainty and move forward became his biggest strength. This interview captures how he handled pressure, approached mocks, strengthened weak areas like reading, and turned unpredictability into an advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upcoming CLAT Exams:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin: <\/strong>Thank you so much, sir. I\u2019m feeling really good. All the hard work has finally paid off, and I\u2019m genuinely happy with the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> I had appeared for CLAT once earlier, in my 11th grade. That attempt was mainly for experience and understanding the exam environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> In Class 11, my mindset was more like \u201clet\u2019s try and see what happens.\u201d This time, it was a decisive attempt, so I took everything much more seriously. That mindset shift made a huge difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> I scored around 87 marks, and my rank was approximately 900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also checkout: How to Prepare for CLAT in Class 11<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> Definitely. It gave me confidence that I was on the right track. I could identify my mistakes early and work on them instead of starting from scratch later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin: <\/strong>There\u2019s no fixed rule. It\u2019s completely subjective. If you feel giving the exam will help you understand the process, go for it. If not, that\u2019s fine too. Do what feels right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> I usually performed well in Critical Reasoning and Quantitative Techniques. English was comparatively weaker for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> Initially, it was stressful because it was unexpected. But once I accepted that this was the paper, there was no choice but to attempt it. Acceptance helped me move forward calmly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> Yes. Everyone was stressed, including me. But those who managed that stress better probably performed better overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> In easier mocks, I scored in the 90s, sometimes even touching 110. In tougher mocks, scores dropped to 60\u201370. But in the last month, my average stayed above 90, regardless of difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> First, relax. Stressing won\u2019t help. Then analyze mistakes properly. Most errors are silly\u2014misreading words like \u201cnot\u201d or \u201cexcept.\u201d If you eliminate even one silly mistake per mock, you\u2019ll see improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> QT is a confidence section. You get exact answers and assured marks\u2014around 8\u201310 marks easily. It also creates a big rank difference because many students skip it. If your basics like percentages and averages are clear, QT becomes manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yajvin:<\/strong> LPT mocks really boosted my confidence. Even when I was scoring low elsewhere, these CLAT mock tests<\/a><\/strong> helped me stay positive. Maths was challenging, but overall, the experience was very beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Important Resources After CLAT Exam:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"CLAT](\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/clat-2026-toppers.jpg\")
