<p>i always find it funny when people ask for advice on how to do well in law school. believe me, i was no different as a 1L, but i quickly realized that you need to find your own way to do well. one thing that is true regardless of how you study: you will work much harder than you did in undergrad, and probably more than you ever have in an academic setting. </p>
<p>there is no one correct method. also, i’ve used different methods for different classes. the bottom line however, is that i’d estimate 75% of students in any given class will have very comparable knowledge of the law. almost all law school exams are NOT about knowledge (everyone has a similar amount of it before an exam), it is about being able to spot key issues, analyze them, and articulate your thoughts in a clear way during a pressure-filled 3 hours. </p>
<p>so in essence, the answer is do what you need to in order to not only synthesize what you need to know, but to prepare you for the actual exam.</p>
