• Logical & Analytical Reasoning: Tests ability to interpret and analyze data, identify patterns, and solve logical puzzles through questions on sequences, analogies, and data sufficiency.
• Legal Reasoning: Evaluates understanding of legal principles, statutory interpretation, and application of law in hypothetical scenarios, often involving case-based questions.
• Reading Comprehension: Assesses critical reading skills through passages related to law, current affairs, and other contemporary topics, testing inference and comprehension abilities.
• General Knowledge: Covers current events, static general knowledge, and basic legal facts, including recent national and international developments.
• Language Proficiency: Measures English language skills, including grammar, vocabulary, and comprehension, integrated within the reading comprehension section.

Additional Note: There is no negative marking; each correct answer awards +1 mark, and there is no penalty for incorrect or unanswered questions, allowing candidates to attempt all questions without risk.
