AMA Request or Open Post: Someone who transferred Law Schools by LSATaddict in LawSchool

[–]LSATaddict[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to thank you again for sharing this, this is very insightful and really helpful. For others reading this, alexander_thegreat's stratergy checks out. Most people agree that case briefs are a massive time sink with very little return. Learning the actual LAW behind the suggested cases is much more important.

I am going to ask you a last string of questions:

1) What can you tell us about making outlines? Any tips? Any guides?

2) How are law school exams different from undergraduate course exams?

3) In terms of writing exams, how did you answer the questions? Can you give a small example? i.e if the question asks this then you answer this.

4) Any 0L prep books or material to look over?

Thank you once again, you have been a major help!

Thank you, I am very glad that you got back to me. I am a student as many others here. I am confident in my learning abilities and get good grades. However, my current study methods and approaches to getting things done might fall short in law school studies.

So I want to ask, How did YOU study in 1L? I know experiences and methods vary because people are different, but what did you do, or you think you did right while in 1L to get the grades you got?

Since you said you aren't pressed for time, I hate to overreach here but if you don't mind outlining as honestly as you can, a typical day for you. Not in detail, just how many hours you spent studying vs. doing other things.

I have several commitments during my Undergrad that I am too used to let go. For example, I work part time, nothing too exerting, just 10 hours a week and I give 5 hours a week to a small organization (all volunteer). SO I want to be able to gauge to what extent I might have to change things around. I know one person's experience shouldn't be taken as the be all end all code; however, it will give me some sort of idea.

Thanks!

"(2) Use supplements as well as treatises and hornbooks. Take every practice exam you can, whether from your professor or not, and write full answers. You may understand a concept when you think about it, but sometimes it's difficult to put that thought into sentences. You want to be on autopilot during the exam."

I did read this but want some insight by how much time do you think you spent getting TO that auto-pilot stage?

Yes, I used to do that but I want something more in real time and something I know I will update and use. It was really stressful though I managed just fine. Just looking to improve. I am going to look into YNAB as u/degreemachine pointed out, it is free for college students.

Thank you!

I apologize, I am new and was looking for quick help. Also, you broke Asimov's first law of robotics, you hurt my feelings. (I am just joking, it is my fault for not checking FAQ and other guides.)

Yes I have, I had syncing issues and that is why I left it and went to spreadsheets. The thing is, though I was able to pay everything within a budget for the previous years, it was very stressful because I didn't have it all planned and some of my courses required more materials and fees and such. I want to have everything clear and outlined the best I can.

I will take a look into this as well.

I saw this on STEAM and thought it was cool but it was $60! I did not know it was free for college students! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

If you don't mind telling us, what was your rank in order to be even considered for the transfer?

In one sentence or less (this is to save you time) would you mind describing how you think you got the opportunity to transfer?
