How to study CPC?

Hello! This post is part 1 of hands down the most demanded topic: "How to go about voluminous subject like the Code of Civil Procedure?" The further parts will deal with other voluminous subjects like CrPC, IPC, Evidence Law, Constitution, et alia. I will deal with this topic subject-wise because though most of the suggestions will overlap, there are certain subject-specific suggestions that might be overwhelming to grasp all at once. So, while reading this particular part, I will request you to only keep CPC in mind. So let's get to the bottom of it, shall we?

But before we start, I'd like you to know that I've listed the tips step-wise for your ease. What I want you to do is complete one step, and then come back for the next step. Just one step at a time. Eazy Peezy, right? Once you complete all the steps, do what the last step says: repeat! Okay, so here's what you came here for:

1. Pick up the bare Act and read it from the beginning to end. Don't care too much about the length. Assign a definite number for hours each day and read it for those hours. If things get boring, take a break, pick another subject, but come back to the CPC bare Act. As you get done with the sections, try to picture the order in which they occur in a court. Mark all the sections relating to jurisdiction together. Next time, read them one after the other. What about Cause of Action? Read Res Judicata and underline each element in that section. Sit and try recalling what all broad topics you just read about pertaining to court proceedings.
2. Now, start with the Orders. You will notice that each Order deals with one broad topic. Did you read any section relating to that very topic? Mark them together. Reading all the Orders will take a few days. Be patient. Do not read mindlessly once you've reached your saturation level.
3. Pick up either class notes of your coaching, or a book like Takwani. Read it patiently. Pay attention to the Sections that seem important. You will notice that the book does not elaborate on each and every Section and Rule, and that's alright.
4. Do two more readings of THE WHOLE Bare Act. 
5. Now pick up past year papers of all the States irrespective of whichever State you're aiming for. Some I've clubbed together here, will include more in due time. Take the Pre Papers, find CPC MCQs and attempt them. How many did you get right? Jot down your score somewhere. How many seemed unfamiliar?
6. Now pick up Mains Question Papers of all the states and just give the questions a read. You will notice that unlike Pre, the Mains Paper only focuses on the broader areas. Mark the Sections and Rules that have been asked in mains. Make a dot next to a provision in your Bare Act (I preferred doing it in the index section) everytime you encounter a question relating to that provision. Once you're done, you'll notice that some sections have way more dots than others. Make sure you make extensive notes on these in Step 8 vis-a-vis the depth of questions you've seen are asked in the mains question papers you've just analysed.
7. Give the Bare Act another read. Things will start seeming much familiar now that you've attempted some MCQs. 
8. Give the book/class-notes another read along-with the Bare Act and make your own notes. Also include the case-laws that you encountered in Step 5 while attempting Pre Question Papers, under the relevant Section/Order.
9. Pick up MCQs and attempt them again. Have you improved? Where are you lacking?
10. If you are dubious about your answer writing skills, attempt mains questions by actually writing the answers on a sheet of paper. You may compare them to the samples I keep sharing on the blog (Like here). If you are fairly confident with your answer writing skills, mentally attempt all the mains questions of every state. There are so many, you'll never get done with all.
11. Read the Bare Act with the notes you made from now on. Refer to your material when you have a doubt understanding some topic, or you encounter a question that you cannot answer from your notes and the Bare Act.
12. WOW! So many reading already! You must already feel like a pro. But don't stop here. Aim for perfection. Repeat Steps 11, 9, and 10; in that order till the D-day arrives. Good luck!
