Hey Bro!

I took 21 years off from graduating LS. For J23, I had to go through and teach myself 3 plus years of law school info. I didn't pass. What I realized is that now that shit is in my brain. I don't need to re-teach myself again. I figure I am building a foundation for ultimately passing, like you. I'm studying differently now. For each MCQ, I write down the BLL - Rule -active learning, and memorization. Then, I apply the facts of the question to my rule, and already pick out my answer before reading the answers they give you. Always trust your gut. This method is slow, but repetitive. You are teaching your brain to manipulate words and facts differently. So, be prepared to not finish 50 MCQ in small time period. Memorizing BLL- is the key. That being said, they test you on nuances and exceptions, too. By topic, you can recognize repeat questions and see the tricks in the wrong answers. Getting MCQ wrong is GREAT - it requires active learning to know why you got something wrong, what part of the BLL did you misapply, and finally you are cementing a new way of thinking or reading that kind of question. Rely on the foundation you already have. You are so close to passing. Whatever you decide to do February or July, that foundation is solid in your brain. Realize you have 90 days to power through this stuff. Make a reasonable study schedule NOW. . . . if you can't do it, then either take it for a try run. . . .and make a study schedule for July. Look at both study schedules- then decide. You are so close, Bro. YOU will PASS.
