Law School Exams are  norm reference not a criterion reference exam. That is, making an A+  is not based on objective level of performance (criterion) but on how well you perform in comparison to others taking the exam  (norm). The grade you make in law school depends on: 

How well you performed,  the curve or grade normalization philosophy of your school and professor, and who you are taking the exam with. 

Remember that you can not change the grading curve. Nothing you do will make the A range to be the top 10% instead of the top 4%. 

Nothing you can do will change the competition. If you have to do better than 90% of the persons taking the exam - than you have to do better than 90% - that's a given. 

The only thing you can do is change yourself. 

So your goal for the next fourteen weeks should be to make the changes necessary so that you will make the highest grade possible: 

To make the change you'll have to be brutally honest about your issue-spotting skills, exam-writing skills, and your exam taking skills. Do whatever you have to do (legal of course) to give studying for law school, your full attention - Move in with your family, (or move out), borrow more money. 

Put forth your best effort now - You may not have a second chance.
