• Each subject area separately. Don't fall into the temptation of studying a little of each course.

• Start an Outline/Summary early and keep it as up-to-date as possible. In the Fall use Thanksgiving break to bring all your outlines up-to-date. In the spring use Easter break to bring your outlines up-to-date.

• If you have difficulty with a concept see your professor immediately.  In fact, find a professor who you feel comfortable learning from and make a standing appointment to review some aspect of his or her course. The analytical skills you learn will be transferable to your other courses.

• Develop Flashcards for each subject: include key terms, key rules and elements, standards, hypotheticals. Start doing this immediately. (Do this as you prepare and review a subject); 

• Go through ALL your flashcards on a subject at least every two to three weeks. Review the areas of the law you "miss". 

• Take 1-2 hours of hypotheticals, short answer questions, and multiple choice for each subject at least two to three weeks for each subject exams daily AND take 1-2 hours of multiple choice questions . Start doing this immediately. 

Compare your answer to the model answer.

Determine which issues you missed and why (missed a fact, didn't know the law, etc.). Review the law for the issues you missed.

Make sure you used PRE-IRAC-C form in writing your answer.

• At the end, of course, condense your outline to no more than 10 pages of key issues, rules, standards, tests, exceptions. 

• Make a one page list of key terms for each course. Don't do this until the days immediately before the exams

• During the study time before exams spend ALL your  time taking exams and multiple choice questions. Review areas where you are having trouble. 

• Study 10-12 hours per  week on exam preparation activities: making a course outline, making and reviewing flashcards, writing answers to short hypotheticals.
