How to actually use your 365 days
A year to build from the ground up: deep concepts, multiple passes, and a long mock campaign.
This 1-year plan gives you 365 days to work through 60 weighted LAT (Law Admission Test) topics across 5 subjects — roughly 0.16 new topics a day at 2–3 hours of focused study. That light daily load is sustainable for a full year without burning out — consistency beats intensity over this long.
LAT (Law Admission Test) marks are not spread evenly across subjects. Legal Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, and English carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — so the early months build deep fluency in them while there is time to spare. Cut nothing. Over a year, low-weight topics are exactly where you build the edge most candidates never reach — depth compounds at this length.
A full year means you are not preparing for LAT (Law Admission Test) so much as mastering it — building every one of the 60 topics from first principles, including the low-weight ones that separate top ranks from safe passes. The year-long failure mode is silent drift — early months feel relaxed, then the second half panics. Run monthly self-tests so a slipping schedule shows up early.
What to prioritise & cut
Cut nothing. Over a year, low-weight topics are exactly where you build the edge most candidates never reach — depth compounds at this length.
Mock tests & revision
Light topic tests in the first months, monthly full-length mocks from the midpoint, shifting to weekly in the final 10–12 weeks. Revisit your error log on a spaced schedule throughout.
Weekly rhythm
Quarter-by-quarter: foundations, depth and problem-solving, full-syllabus revision, then a mock-and-fine-tuning quarter. Re-touch every subject at least three times.

LAT (Law Admission Test) 1-Year Plan — common questions
Is 365 days enough to prepare for LAT (Law Admission Test)? +
A full year means you are not preparing for LAT (Law Admission Test) so much as mastering it — building every one of the 60 topics from first principles, including the low-weight ones that separate top ranks from safe passes. The honest answer depends on your starting point, but this 1-year plan is built to get the most from the time you have: a year to build from the ground up: deep concepts, multiple passes, and a long mock campaign.
How many hours a day does this LAT (Law Admission Test) 1-year plan need? +
Plan for 2–3 hours of focused study, covering about 0.16 new topics a day. Quarter-by-quarter: foundations, depth and problem-solving, full-syllabus revision, then a mock-and-fine-tuning quarter. Re-touch every subject at least three times.
What should I skip if I am short on time? +
Cut nothing. Over a year, low-weight topics are exactly where you build the edge most candidates never reach — depth compounds at this length.
When should I start mock tests on this plan? +
Light topic tests in the first months, monthly full-length mocks from the midpoint, shifting to weekly in the final 10–12 weeks. Revisit your error log on a spaced schedule throughout.
