SLAT

There is no fixed limit to how many hours you need to devote to SLAT preparation. This is because every person has a different learning pace. Some may have strong analytical backgrounds, and the analytical section may look like a cakewalk to them, but they may get stuck in comprehension. Therefore, you need to first understand your strengths and weaknesses to make a proper schedule. You should give more time to practicing and studying those topics that are unknown to you and less time to those that you know very well. On average, it takes 6 to 8 hours, depending on how many months are left for the exam. If SLAT is six months away, then four hours is sufficient, but if it is next month, then you need to study for at least eight hours.

The most difficult section of SLAT cannot be specified because the difficulty level of a subject or exam section is different for all candidates. For example, some candidates have expertise in Logical Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning. Thus, these two sections of the SLAT exam will be easier for them than other exam sections. It can be said that the difficulty level of a SLAT section for a candidate is based on his or her expertise in it. If we analyze the sectional difficulty for SLAT based on the patterns of question papers from previous years, General Knowledge is the most difficult section because questions in this section can be asked from anywhere from static GK topics to current affairs. 

Since the SLAT places a lot of emphasis on analytical skills, the questions tend to be drawn from subjects that call for in-depth study and practise. Candidates must employ their capacity for minute observation and quick calculation in each of the three areas of the SLAT question paper. The SLAT's primary topics, broken down into sections, are listed below.Reading Comprehension - Questions based on passages, Para meaning, Reasoning: Blood Relation,Seating Arrangement, Syllogism, Coding-Decoding, Sets and Caselets, Family Tree, AssumptionsMathematics - Algebra Number System Modern Math, Arithmetic, MensurationThe difficulty level of SLAT questions is usually moderate to high. Only a few questions are easy and quick to solve. To crack the SLAT exam, one needs to pay attention to the mentioned topics. 

For the past 2-3 years, the syllabus of SLAT has been the same. However, there is a guarantee that the SET exam authority will not make any changes to the SLAT syllabus in the future. All the important updates related to the SLAT exam are published on the official website of the Symbiosis Entrance Test (SET), set-test.org. Thus, if the exam authority changes the SLAT syllabus, candidates will be able to know about those changes by visiting the SET website. All the details related to SLAT in a particular year are published on this website at least 5-6 months prior to the commencement of the exam. Thus, if the exam authority makes some changes to the SLAT syllabus, this much time will be sufficient for SLAT aspirants to prepare for the exam according to the updated syllabus. 

No, the syllabus for SLAT 2023 was the same as the syllabus for SLAT 2022. All five sections, Analytical Reasoning, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, General English and General Knowledge were the same as the sections in the SLAT syllabus of the previous year. Questions from mathematics and current affairs were also asked in SLAT 2023. These topics were also included in the previous year’s syllabus of SLAT. Thus, the SLAT syllabus did not change this year. The only difference in the context of the SLAT question paper was the level of sectional difficulty. The section related to General Knowledge with current affairs was more difficult than that of the previous year.
