| These recommendations are about studying to make an A+ on law school
exams. They are not about making you a great lawyer or getting you that
high paying law job. For that you will need more than passing the bar.
You will need tenacity, creativity, concern for others, and a bit of good
luck. But no doubt, passing the bar is essential. |
| Making an A+ on law school exams will require more than showing up
for class every day, reading cases, and making an outline. (Although
it should go without saying, that doing those things are basic to making
an A+.)
Passing the bar will require that you take even more responsibility
for your own learning than you have so far. |
| What does that mean? |
| Well, it means knowing how you learn and tailoring your study habits
to maximize your learning. Doing something because everyone else is doing
it is not taking responsibility for your own learning. You must do those
things that will maximize your learning. After an honest analysis of your
learning style, if you determine that any of these recommendations will
not help you maximize your learning, than I hope that you will take charge
of your learning and ignore them. |
| If you want to make an A+ you must give your attention to several important
areas.
First, you must master any environmental, emotional, and physical obstacles
to your success.
Second, you must make sure that your study strategy is not seriously
flawed, and you must do that NOW!!
Third, you must prepare sufficiently by preparing daily and weekly.
Finally, you must organize and write concise, effective responses to
the exam questions. |
