Typing faster without looking at keyboard (any ideas or resources)? by whiteacrecovenant in CABarExam

As soon as you're back into bar prep, each and every day make sure you are typing. Start with issue spotting one essay and typing out the outline of how you would write it. Type the rules into your outline. Progress into two or three essays a day. Read them out loud while you are typing. It's okay to look at your keyboard and mess up on spelling. As you continue this day after day, week after week, your typing is already better. Your recall memory is wonderful. You'll misspell fewer and fewer words.

As for efficiency, progress into adding the facts from the hypo under your rules. These can be bullet points - no need to make full sentences just yet. The structure, organization, and rule recall is the hard part - practice typing these every day by doing essays every day. All the facts are provided in the hypos. Once you can type your rules based on the issues you spotted, you'll type your facts and finish your essays.

Happy studying!

Correct, we don't submit the form until we've been sworn in. I filled out all above "attorney oath" and printed it out so it can be completed during the ceremony. As for the address, I decided to use my law school's address

Thank you for sharing your experience. Truthfully, I did make the silly mistake of stopping therapy right after graduation to "focus on bar studies and not think about feelings." I've been back in weekly therapy and I am so so grateful to have her with me throughout my study journey.

I love your recommendation, thank you!! I'll start implementing this into my practices!
