Why the Last 45 Days Matter So Much
A lot of students reach this stage after months of hard work. Mocks are being attempted regularly, notes are ready, and yet there is a nagging feeling of not knowing what to prioritise next. Should you revise more, or read something new? Which mistakes deserve a second look?
The answer is simple. In the final 45 days, your job is not to learn more law. Your job is to make sure everything you already know is fresh, accurate, and ready to be recalled under exam pressure.
Week 1: Start With Local Laws
Local laws should be the very first thing you revise. They carry a good number of questions in the exam, and they are often the weakest link for candidates, even those who are otherwise strong in general law.
If you are based outside the state you are appearing for, this becomes even more important. Most aspirants know their home state laws well because they read them often, but the local laws of another state can slip through the cracks.
For Chhattisgarh and similar exams, this includes laws such as:
• State Accommodation laws
• Land Revenue Code (LRC)
• Excise Act
• Other state specific enactments relevant to your exam
Since you have about six weeks in hand, dedicate the first week entirely to revising these thoroughly. Getting this out of the way early removes one big source of last minute stress.
Weeks 2 and 3: GK, GS, Current Affairs, and Languages
Once local laws are done, move on to General Knowledge, General Studies, and current affairs covering the full 12 months before the exam. This portion usually takes about a week to ten days to revise properly, even though it can feel like it needs two full weeks.
If you find it hard to study only one subject at a stretch, pair it with something else. For example, you can combine current affairs with your language paper preparation, or revise local laws alongside GK. Choose a combination that keeps you engaged rather than forcing a rigid single subject schedule.
Hindi and English language sections can be worked on in parallel during this phase as well, since they usually need lighter, more consistent practice rather than one long dedicated block.
Weeks 4 and 5: Criminal and Civil Law Revision
The next two weeks belong to your major law subjects, Criminal Law and Civil Law. Give one full week to each. This might sound tight, but it is achievable if you revise with the right tools rather than starting from scratch.
Here is how to make this rapid revision realistic:
• Use the index you already prepared from your bare act notes, since it holds the exact bare act language you need to recall
• Pull out your one liner notes and add them into this same index for a combined revision resource
• Spend two to three hours daily on these subjects so that you effectively get two rounds of revision in across the six weeks
If you have not made an index before, this is not the time to build one from scratch. Use whatever short notes or one liners you already have and revise directly from them.
The Final Week: Revise Only, Learn Nothing New
This is the single most important rule for the last week. Do not start any new topic, no matter how tempting it feels. The final week is for consolidation, not expansion.
In this week, focus on:
• Attempting full length mock tests and analysing every mistake
• Revisiting questions you got wrong earlier and had circled or marked for review
• Going through your one liner notes and landmark judgment notes
• Revising previous year questions (PYQs) one more time
It also helps to spend a little extra time on topics you are already confident about, not just your weak areas. Confidence plays a real role in exam performance, and shaking it right before the exam by drowning yourself in weak topics can do more harm than good.

Why Bare Act Language Is the Real Game Changer
Many APO and judiciary exam questions are designed so that two options look almost equally correct. In that situation, the option closer to the actual bare act wording is usually the right answer.
This is why bare act revision deserves special attention in your final weeks. It is not just about knowing the concept, it is about knowing the exact language the law uses. Along with this, keep practicing daily MCQs. Bare act reading builds your knowledge, while regular mock practice builds the exam temperament you will need on the actual day.
Aashayein Judiciary's Take on the Final Stretch
This particular exam strategy is built around a single, focused revision cycle rather than the usual Prelims, Mains, and Interview structure, since it addresses the final weeks leading directly into the exam. Here is how Aashayein Judiciary sums up the approach for these last 45 days:
• Treat the first week as clean up time for your weakest subject, which is usually local laws
• Let the middle two to three weeks handle GK, GS, current affairs, and languages together
• Reserve the following two weeks purely for Criminal and Civil law revision using your existing notes and index
• Keep the very last week free of new content and full of mocks, error analysis, and bare act recall
At Aashayein Judiciary, the emphasis at this stage is always on discipline over volume. Revising less material more sharply beats trying to cover everything one more time in a rush.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much time is actually needed for the last phase of Chhattisgarh APO preparation?
Around 45 days, which works out to about six weeks, is enough if you follow a structured week by week plan instead of trying to cover everything randomly.
2. Why should local laws be revised first and not last?
Local laws are usually the weakest area for candidates, especially if you are not naturally familiar with that state. Clearing this early removes pressure later in your schedule.
3. Is it okay to study more than one subject at the same time in the final weeks?
Yes. If studying a single subject for long hours feels tiring, you can pair a major subject with a lighter one, such as current affairs with language practice, as long as it keeps you consistent.
4. Should I start any new topic in the last week before the exam?
No. The last week should be used only for revision, mock analysis, and going through your existing notes. Starting something new this close to the exam can hurt both your preparation and your confidence.
5. Why does bare act language matter so much in MCQ based exams?
When two answer options look similar, the one that matches the bare act wording most closely is usually correct. Reading the bare act carefully helps you spot this difference during the exam.
6. What should my final week revision actually include?
Full length mock tests, analysis of past mistakes, one liner notes, landmark judgment notes, and a review of previous year questions. Nothing beyond what you have already studied.
Conclusion
The last 45 days before your Chhattisgarh ADPO exam do not need to feel chaotic. A clear week by week plan, starting with local laws and ending with a revision only final week, can help you walk into the exam room prepared and confident.
