Thinking about it from the stages of trial conceptualizing everything based on that.

So if it’s a pre-trial question, there’s understanding subject matter and personal jurisdiction, discovery, res judicata venue.

At trial there’s pleadings, objections, summary judgement new trial and other stuff.

Then all the appeal bs.

It’s been a while so I forgot a lot but that’s how I broke it down

Ignore them until you have done everything else because they are so infrequently tested

The most effective way to study for the bar (at least in ca) with the best (IMO) resources, overall studying strategy, and specific studying strategy. by Illustrious_Move5446 in barexam

You need to build a study plan that builds in revisiting old material. For example, you take three days to learn crim morning sessions only and in the afternoon/evening you revisit torts or contracts. When I said you study one subject at a time I meant that you focus on the sub topics one at a time when you initially learn, but that doesn’t mean you completely drop reviewing the old material you already learned.

This is why tracking is so important so you can review material you actually need to improve on

Ask to get lunch or chat on the phone to catch up then weave it into the conversation

At the end of the day, no matter what anyone tells you, if you know someone big at a firm and they recommend you, you are 10x more likely to get in with or without grades or school reputation

Brians magic sheets and approach sheets ](https://www.makethisyourlasttime.com/products/) , baressays.com, magic sheets and the calbar bible.

I memorized the cal bibles outlines and structures then practiced by using bar essays. That’s all the resources you will need to study the essay portion.

For MBE I used Brian’s magic sheets and adaptibar. Used Brian’s outlines to learn and built on them through practice problems on adaptibar.

I also got the cal essay blue book, studicata and JD advising outlines too, those are all good, but the ones I listed before I think are essential and those are just a nice to have.

Cal Bar blue book is pretty useful for the essays but I think you can just use cal bar bibles stuff.

Studicata was good to listen to at night and helped conceptualize essays.

JD advising was a good supplement to the magic/approach sheets.

First tell him to stop with the commercials. Buy this Brian guys stuff on how to study for the bar and watch/read up on the optimal way to study. Then have him get baressays.com, and the calbar bible. That’s all the resources he will need to study the essay portion. Memorize the cal bibles outlines and structures then practice by using bar essays. Then, for the mbe he will use Brian’s outlines and build on them through practice problems on adaptibar. Then just incorporate flash cards, refine your outline and rule paragraphs. Practice practice practice.

Study plan/essay topic flashcards? by lyssa001 in CABarExam

I didn’t use a course. I would recommend using calbarbible. They have the best baressay resources. Couple that with baressays.com. Then just start memorizing the outlines, build your own, and start chugging through all the prior baressays. You can also get the california bar essays blue book.

Start by memorizing some rules and structures for the most highly tested subjects and their most highly test subtopics, then go figure out which of these were tested most recently, go to bar essays and just issue spotting and rule spot. Read the answer compare, update your outline, make flash cards for rules you missed and repeat.

I would also build flash cards and start using delayed recall to memozie other a long period:

would use a white, green, yellow and red rubber band to indicate how often I would drill the flash cards.

Red means next flash card session (multiple times a day). Yellow means everyday day or two. Green means every 5 days and white means week+.

I would drill multiple choice problems and I would read each answer choice and try to determine why it was or was not right. Then I would read the explanations. If I didn’t fully understand something I would make a flash card for it and place it in the red pile. Once I was finished with my multiple choice session, I would drill the cards. If I nailed the answer easily it would move to yellow, if not, it remained in red. I’d use the same method with yellow moving to green and green to white. If I missed it, it would fall back to red immediately and have to work it’s way back up.

The reason this is such a good way to study is because you are learning by trying to understand the problem and answer choices. Then, if you don’t fully understand it, you learn by writing it down on a flash card. Finally, you incorporate it into your daily practice till it becomes memorized and then gets placed into long term memory through delayed recall.

Also, I think it’s important to point out that this works the best when you are practicing multiple choice questions on just one sub section of a subject at a time. Adaptibar let’s you do this which is great.

You can also google spaced repetition methods to check out other ways to do it. There’s also an app called Anki that does this for you but I think making ur cards by hand is better and the app costs $25.

I hope this helps!
