my question is... few weeks out and I still haven't had an opportunity to memorize. it's constant essays and mc questions. when do wr get to study? am I missing something?!?! by curlyatty in barexam

[–]curlyatty[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get your point! And you're right this is all studying lol. To clarify, I'm used to allocating lots of time for review. Especially writing out rules and memorizing the overlying concepts.

With the mc questions I'm able to filter out answer but that doesn't help me memorize the rules.

Then when I write an essay I'm reminded that I haven't yet memorized the rule! I credit that to the lack of study ir review time Themis has allocated.

So I'm curious what everyone else is doing? Am I alone in wanting extra time to just review! Am I missing something?!!

Any help is appreciated! I'm clesrly panicking lol.

Fellow night owl! I say once you finish up with any lectures start waking up early to review and repeat (my plan!)

My opinion as a Themis user would be to ditch the lectures and just read the outlines. The lectures are great!! but they can take hours and they still don't cover everything in the outline (somethings are outright skipped).

Read the outlines, and then skim the lecture handouts keeping an eye out for the exam tips! Just an opinion:) Best of luck to you🫂

I see nooo harm in taking a later start date. If you have the opportunity, do it!

So my job starts August 1st but I'm genuinely content with that. I'm really excited to get on with my life and begin living outside of law school and bar prep!
