So, your Law paper didn’t go as planned. The marks were disappointing. Maybe you failed—or maybe you just didn’t score what you truly deserved.

This is not the time to feel defeated. This is the time to evaluate, learn, and bounce back stronger.

As CA Foundation mentor Rishabh Gaur Sir puts it:

“Business studies mein planning, organising, staffing, directing sab seekh liya. Ab controlling ka samay hai — it’s time to evaluate.”

Let’s break it down — the real reasons why Law as a subject gets tough for students, and how you can overcome every single hurdle with the right plan and mindset.

Step 1: Did You Actually Study Law the Right Way?

Let’s start at the basics.

Classroom Study: If you haven’t studied Law thoroughly through proper lectures or coaching classes, this is your first gap.
- What to do: Watch high-quality revision lectures. Rishabh Sir has covered:
  - Indian Contract Act
  - Negotiable Instruments Act
  - Indian Partnership Act
  - LLP Act
  - Interpretation of Statutes

Fix This: Go through all the revision lectures before doing anything else.

Step 2: Did You Revise After Class?

Attending class is one thing, retaining it is another.

Law is theory-heavy. If you didn’t revise, you probably forgot everything by the time exams came around.

Fix This: Prioritize systematic revision. Rishabh Sir has uploaded revision videos for all major Acts. Go through them again, even if you’ve already studied once.

Step 3: Did You Practice Case-Based Questions?

Understanding the law ≠ Knowing how to write an answer.

You must apply law to case studies, and that only happens through question practice.

Fix This:

Solve questions from:
- MTPs (Mock Test Papers)
- RTPs (Revision Test Papers)
- Past Year Papers
- IGP’s curated question bank

Step 4: Did You Practice Writing the Answers?

Reading answers is not enough.

“Jo soch ke lagta hai ki aata hai, woh likhne mein galat nikal jaata hai.”

Fix This:

Watch the video: “How, What & How Much to Write”
Understand answer structure: Law – Facts – Application – Conclusion
Practice 3-marker vs 5-marker vs 7-marker answers separately.

Step 5: Did You Attempt Mock Tests Under Exam Conditions?

This is where most students go wrong.

Mock test at home ≠ Real pressure
Solving casually ≠ Simulating actual exam
3.5 hours at leisure ≠ 3 hours of focused, uninterrupted writing

Fix This:

Take mock tests under strict 3-hour conditions
No breaks, no looking back, no checking solutions mid-way
Get them evaluated or compare with ideal answers
