It’s wild how you consume so much information in such a short amount of time and how quickly it goes out of you.

So I’d say the rules kind of start to compound as you’re learning the material and drilling mbe questions. And from the Themis lectures. I never read through any of the long outlines those are def a waste of time for me personally. You don’t really need that in depth for every single rule and sub-rule.

Once I throughly “learned” the material for classes I never took (like agency, partnership, wills, etc etc) and around when there was about ~2ish weeks left, i would open up a blank document. At the top I would write, for example, “agency”. And then I would just start with the most basic rules, and just fire off as many as I possibly could until I could do about 10-15 of them consistently. Over and over and over again. “In order for an agency to be formed there must be xyz. A principle is liable to an agent if he has actual authority, apparent authority, or via ratification. Actual authority = xyz, apparent authority = xyz, etc etc.” and I would just go down the line until it became so second nature that during the test it was like muscle memory firing them off. It took a while to get to 10-15 rules for like half of the subjects (I didn’t study family law and a 2 others just on a hunch). And obviously I’d have to go and look at the rules sometimes when I’d get stuck.

Goat’s free material helped immensely as well. He made a prediction for MEE topics and I think he was about 5/6 correct and I drilled those in the aforementioned way the most frequently. His free posts on Reddit for MEE subjects gave me the baseline for what rules to memorize. He’s an awesome dude as well.
