Final Exam Prep Advice

Post by Lawstudent8091 » Fri Nov 10, 2017 2:40 pm

hello, I'm in the process of creating my study schedule for final exams which are coming up in about a month. I am looking to divide my time equally between doing practice exams, hypos, multiple choice questions, etc. What are study schedules which work(ed) for you?

Any other exam prep advice would be appreciated!!

Thanks!

In 1L, as I geared up for exams, I aimed to do 2 practice exams/subject/week. I outlined and studied for every subject at least 1x/week. Reading for classes, while important, is not something you should be spending too much time on right now. Your exam grades matter so much more than correctly answering a potential cold call (I very rarely knew the answers on which I was being cold called and I'm in the top 10% of my class). I relied on quimbee case summaries toward the end of the semester and read treatises. Now is the time to see the big picture, not to get wrapped up in minutae. Good luck!!
