Hii Rupali,

CLAT has questions of English, Mathematics ,General Knowledge & Current Affairs , Logical Reasoning ,Legal Aptitude .

In the English section your proficiency is tested, that is basic grammar to high level grammar, para jumbles and comprehensions. In quants your ability to solve a problem, they are simple but very tricky topics like TSD, percentages-averages etc, for reasoning too the same applies, legal aptitude is nothing but your interest in legal research.

For cracking the quantitative aptitude section of clat you basically need to do all the mathematics topics you have studied till class 10th. It is very basic tricks play a major role there. You can either do RD sharma to revise your basics or NCERT and then Quants book by RS Agarwal. For English please do Word power Made easy by norman Lewis twice and then practice questions from any book. Legal  aptitude you can do A. P Bhardwaj.

You'll have to appear for a lot of mocks too, this'll help you build a speed and boost your confidence. You can appear for mocks and then ascertain if you need a coaching or not.Read a newspaper on a daily basis it is helpful for both verbal and the GK section.
