The first step in preparing for Law is to engage in plain reading. Pull out the Institute's study material and start reading aloud. This method creates an audio-visual effect that helps you retain information better. Don't worry if you don't understand everything on the first try. The goal here is to familiarize yourself with the content. Reading aloud helps keep you alert and engaged, preventing drowsiness that often accompanies silent reading.
Achieving conceptual clarity is crucial, especially for self-study students. Here’s how to break it down:

Aim for at least three revisions before the final exam review. Although it may seem time-consuming initially, each subsequent revision will take less time.
To enhance retention, create an audio-visual effect by reading aloud and writing down key points. Highlight keywords with highlighters to focus your attention on important areas. This technique aids long-term memory and ensures you pay attention to crucial details during revision.
Practicing questions is crucial for success in Law. Use ICAI’s study materials, RTPs, MTPs, and suggested answers. Write down questions and their answers to simulate exam conditions. Participating in mock tests will help you get used to the exam format and improve your time management skills. Here are some tips:
