Find one good book that will prepare you the best for CLAT Logical Reasoning along with understanding the topics and solving the practice papers.

Understand the Basics

Learn to Manage Time

Practice Mock Tests and Previous Year Question Papers

Previous Year Question Papers give you an idea of the difficulty level of the section. A candidate must thoroughly assess the type of questions asked in the previous year CLAT papers.

Note: Don't just go on attempting mock tests and previous year question papers without being prepared. This way, you will only waste your time.

Practice Regularly

Only practice can help you increase your speed and save time during the exam. It is recommended that candidates put extra effort and more time on this section as candidates often complain that logical reasoning is something very new and unfamiliar.
