HIGHLIGHTS:
Quantitative Aptitude Section comprised all areas of mathematics with a fractional leaning towards Arithmetic. This ensured that all students were given a chance to use the fundamentals and solve each and every problem.
Logical Reasoning Section was reasonably easy on the mind and worked as a stress buster so coming up with straightforward answers was not a difficult task. Questions based on Mathematical Reasoning were relatively easy whereas questions based on Analytical Reasoning were of average difficulty level.
General English Section was like a crossword puzzle where answers fell into place as the questions progressed. The rules of the game were so simple that students had a field day practicing their vocabulary.
General Awareness Section had questions which had clear cut answers so there was no hesitation in answering most of them.

HIGHLIGHTS:
There can be no dispute in any court of Law, that the SET (LAW) 2011 was drafted to be simple.
The Reading Comprehension Section is just a test to assess a students' proficiency in the English language. While being simple and easy to attempt, it is very important to understand the finer nuances of this language. Most proceedings in the court are conducted in this language hence an important aspect of this paper lies in tackling this section with ease.
General Knowledge Section was a very orthodox section as most questions were based on knowledge gleaned through years of study. Current affairs took a backseat with just two odd questions from that area. For a Career Forum student most of the questions would have created a feeling of déjà vu.
Legal Reasoning Section had a mix of legal cases based on situations and allegations.
The Indian Constitution was the order of the day as there were some judicious inquirys' on the very same. Questions on legal aptitude did cause a little distress. Conspicuously absent were legal terms and their meanings. Knowing your "ACTS" was very vital as there were a few questions based on them.
Analytical Reasoning Section though simple most of the questions were based on analogies of which a few demanded knowledge of English and a few had a flavour of GK. The knowledge of "Matching" was also tested through this section as well as they came up with a new type of Reasoning question called as 'questions based on paragraphs'.
Logical Reasoning Section was the style quotient of this paper. The style of questions in the section was just the right fit for a lawyer in the making.

Selecting your section was the smartest approach for this paper. Reasoning with a fair amount of interpreting data was what made up for most of the questions in the paper. So if the strength lay in dealing with general knowledge then that should have been the first priority. Getting through each section as fast as possible was the swiftest way to combat this paper.
CONCLUSION:
It is only in the courts of law that the best players are on the "bench".
So if you were one of the 'best players' in today's game of SET (Law) then you have a fair chance of pursuing your dream to be a part of the 'bench'.
Expected Cut-off would be about 110+.
