The official CLAT UG written test has 120 questions for 120 marks in 2 hours, 1 mark per correct answer and 0.25 marks deducted per wrong answer, across five sections: English Language (24 questions), Current Affairs and General Knowledge (28 questions), Legal Reasoning (30 questions), Logical Reasoning (26 questions), and Quantitative Techniques (12 questions). This mock covers English Language, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Techniques, in close to the same proportion: 30 questions (8 English, 10 Legal Reasoning, 8 Logical Reasoning, 4 Quantitative Techniques) in 30 minutes. Every Legal Reasoning question here states its own legal principle and facts in the passage, so it can be answered from the passage alone, with no prior knowledge of law required, matching the official CLAT format. Current Affairs and General Knowledge is not covered, since it depends on facts that carry higher correctness risk for self-authored content.
