A good outline for most classes (excluding torts or con law) should be around 70 pages. |

Date: November 15th, 2012 1:09 AM Author: mahogany indian lodge you dont do it. flame is flame like always.
just fucking outline from the notes that you hopefully took throughout the semester. if you didn't, snag an outline from an upperclassmen. memorize the fuck out of it. take many practice exams. discuss these with reasonably intelligent classmates. go to exam and pour memorized outline onto exam under guise of analysis. and profit
that's about it. any more questions, pumo fuck? |

Date: November 26th, 2012 5:44 PM Author: effete codepig it's still helpful to think through whether and why your answers are wrong or correct without the model answers.
find some smart people to review these exams with and talk it out. reviewing exams with no model answers is one of the few places where group studying is credited |

Organize with CAPS and BOLD and UNDERLINED shit. I underestimated how lazy professors are and how they just look for shit jumpin off the pages.
Don't be wishy washy in your answers.
Memorize as much as you possibly can.
