How to Study for the Bar Exam
Before you can start studying for the
bar exam, you must eliminate distractions. Here are some tips
for creating a productive bar exam study environment.
Wondering how to study for the bar exam? A big part of studying
for the bar exam centers around where you prepare for the
bar exam. To maximize the results of your bar exam study sessions,
you'll want to heed this good advice.
- Focus is key. You have to eliminate all
distractions in order to do well on the bar exam. Now is
not the time to be multi-tasking. Create (or find) a dedicated
space for studying for the bar exam. When you are in that
space, you do only one thing: prepare for the bar exam.
- Clear out your study space. Your bar
exam study room should have good lighting; be clean; be
free of distractions (no televisions); and you should be
sure you have a comfortable and ergonomic chair.
- Assemble your bar exam materials. Keep
your bar exam study materials readily at hand and keep them well-organized.
Wasting time finding materials means you've lost time that
could have been spent preparing to do better on the bar
exam.
- Hold all calls. Put a message on your
telephone-answering device that says you will return calls
after February 28 or July 30. Add an autoresponder to your
email account that says you will answer emails after that
date. Arrange for at least eight weeks off from work. Get
ready to pass the bar exam!
- Limit family interruptions. Explain to
your family that you need this time to study for the bar exam without interruptions.
Remind your family that your becoming a lawyer will make
them happy, too. You cannot study according to schedule
if you are responding to the demands of your children, your
parents, or your spouse. One successful student told her
husband to go home to his mother for two months, because
she was going to pass the bar exam.
