AIBE 18 (XVIII) 2023 Experts’ Speak: What should you do in 1 month preparation?

AIBE 19 (XIX) 2024 Experts’ Speak: What should you do in 1 month preparation?

All India Bar Examination (AIBE) seeks your special and immediate concern. With only few months left for the exam, it is high time to devise a healthy plan that will help you achieve your dream of practicing in the Indian court. If we talk about competitive exams what worst you can think of is a failure or an extremely difficult level to crack. The passing rate of AIBE is around 70 per cent. This is the only paper that all five years of your hard work and education depend upon.

Syllabus and Minimum Passing Score

Let us know about the syllabus which includes almost all the Bar Council of India compulsory courses. If we talk about the priority that needs to be given to different subjects, I would say every subject in this exam has having specific weightage. The minimum score to qualify for the exam is forty. This is just a rating exam and not a ranking one. Therefore you will not get any rank based on your rating or score. This means thereby all those who get above forty percent will be at the same level. As far as the last month's preparation is concerned, well this is time to give the final touch to what you have prepared so far. By this point in time, you should be very clear about the syllabus and the weightage. Make sure the material you are checking should be uploaded by the Bar Council.

Earlier, the exam authority provided the question paper of AIBE English language) on the official website.

MCQ books: There is a large number of books available to cater to the requirements of AIBE. Few students I have seen using bulky books for multiple choice question preparation. However, I would not suggest being overloaded by such heavy resources. Try to rely on some simple and concise book. You can go to the book which is made available by the Bar Council of India. You can get this book from the office of your state bar council. This would suffice as far as the MCQ requirement is concerned.

Bar hack: Bar Hacker is the one-week crash course that gives you a hundred percent guarantee of success. It also promises cashback for one who would not manage to qualify. So for smart workers, this is also one of the options available. Give twenty hours and try your luck for your lifetime dream.  

Hack sheets: Now despite being an open book exam, it's not easy to take a big bag full of books inside the exam hall. You need to have some smartly structured and well-designed reliable sheets of paper that would help you out in searching for the appropriate answer. The Barack course provides you with these hack sheets which make the searching part easy and quick.

To pass AIBE 19, a candidate must have at least 45% marks in case of being from the general or OBC category, and 40% in case of a candidate belonging to the SC/ST category. Considering you scored 43 marks, it seems that you failed to cross the pass mark.
