Major reasons of student’s failure in Law GAT test

All students can easily pass Law GAT or SEE law but, still, there is a failure ratio and it is due to the following few common reasons which you can easily avoid:

1. No Knowledge of law GAT curriculum/syllabus;
2. No Knowledge of paper pattern;
3. Weak English (Graduates of Urdu medium);
4. Overconfidence;
5. Preparation from law GAT books having mistakes or irrelevant material;
6. Guidance from those having no proper knowledge of law GAT pattern;
7. Preparation from those having no proper knowledge of law;
8. Poor time management;

I advise all applicants to take guidance on the test before appearing in the HEC law GAT or SEE law test.

I encourage you to take this one-to-one preparation guidance as its helps you a lot not only in passing the test but also in achieving a high score.
