An attempt of 9+ questions is considered sufficient for a good score in this section.
Legal Reasoning
As usual, the legal reasoning section had questions from criminal and civil law (torts and contracts). Since all the questions mentioned about key principles, the test-takers could solve them without much knowledge of the law. In other words, the section mainly checked the reasoning skills of the test-takers.
An attempt of 10+ questions makes up for a high scorein this section.
Analytical Reasoning
This section assesses the mathematical knowledge and analysis skills of the test-taker. Here, the focus was on arithmetic, algebra, and a few topics of modern maths. The following table shows the number of questions that were asked from different topics:

An attempt of 9+ questions works well for excellent performance in this section.
Reading Comprehension
There were three short RC passages in SLAT 2022, of 200-250 words each. These were easy to understand and followed by 4 questions each. RC questions were quite simple, based on synonyms, antonyms, and contextual facts. RC passages in SLAT 2022 were themed around the following:
- POCSO Act
- Challenges in Appointments of High Court Judges
- Unavailability of Indian laws in various languages
An attempt of 10+ questions in this section fares well for a good performance.
General Knowledge
This had questions from static GK as well as current affairs. GK section seemed slightly tricky to the test-takers. It had questions based on the latest awards, national and international events, government schemes, union budget, etc. There were 8 questions from the current GK and 4 from the static GK. An attempt of 9+ questions in GK suffices for a good score here.
After the students are shortlisted by the law institutes, they are called for further selection rounds.
