For other Laws, questions are generally asked from agency, bailment and guarantee. In the Negotiable Instruments Act topics such as dishonour of cheque, holder in due course, endorsement, cognisance of offences are important for exam
For the General Clauses Act and Interpretation of statutes, the best exam study strategy would be to go through the past exam questions as questions are mostly repeated. Definitions from these two acts are to be memorised as questions are asked on definitions
One needs to practice Multiple Choice Questions after every chapter as these questions are very scoring. They will help you to create the aggregate marks required per subject
