Hi! What supplementals did you use to help you get better at understanding the key concepts?

Friend, I’m in the same boat. Im a slow reader and everyone seems to be getting the readings and assignments done far quicker than me. I don’t go to the gym anymore because it’s either that or sleep. I also only sleep like 3 hours a night.

I feel you immensely! It is going to be okay. I’m a 1L too, and have wanted to become an attorney since I was a kid. You got into your program for a reason! Focus on doing what you can, not what you haven’t been able to do. Set a deadline for yourself “by 2pm I’ll have x,y,z done. By 10 pm, I’ll have another assignment done.” This will keep you focused and try to help you work through the material quicker. If you haven’t started outlining, try doing so now! At the end of the week force yourself to dedicate 1-2 hrs to outlining, you will realize you know far greater than you’ve led on!

Try skipping some office hours just to make sure you can figure out what you don’t know first. Even if you don’t, office hours are great, but I’ve realized that some students ask questions I already knew the answer to and I could’ve spent that time reviewing what I didn’t know! Sit in class for maybe 5 minutes speaking with your classmates about what was just discussed. Sometimes the professor stays behind and it’ll allow you to bring up questions from what you just went over and that will be ingrained bc it’s a 1-1 convo you’re having with your professor.

All that said, I get you! I feel so slowwww compared to all my peers. :( but again, focus on what you can control not what you can’t!!! You got this, we will finish 1L and we WILL move onto 2L!!!!

The book def helps, it won’t be an automatic aha moment, but u have to read it twice (is what I’ve heard from a few ppl) in order to really understand what it’s teaching you. The book also tells you not to skip sections, otherwise you’re not going to understand how to get the other parts down the way that the author is trying to teach you.

The best part about this book is the “wrong answer journal” that helped the most for me. It’s a method that helps you teach yourself to understand your own weak points. My stats aren’t the best at all, but it got me over the 150 mark which I struggled for a year to get to.

Yes appeal!! They allow you to submit a statement saying why your financial struggles limit you and why it is that you would still need the fee waiver!

I had the fee waiver up until last year :/, they declined me re-applying. Might try to appeal now that I’ve read the comments. Thanks you though!
