Law school can be unfair.
It’s unfair that your entire grade for most law school classes rests on how well you perform during a single 3- or 4-hour test. It’s unfair that your professors rarely tell you how to excel on their exams. It’s unfair that your school probably will implement a strict grading curve where the difference between an A and a B can rest on 1/100th of a point. And it’s certainly unfair that your first-year grades will likely determine your eligibility for scholastic honors like Law Review and, most importantly, the job opportunities available to you after law school graduation.
Clearly, much is riding on your 1L exams and, given the high-stakes nature of these tests, it’s no wonder why most students approach them with loathing and trepidation. However, students who attend the BARBRI Law Preview’s Exam Taking Strategies Online Workshop embrace their exams for what they really are: the only chance they have to show the professor what they have learned.
The difference in attitude comes from proper preparation. Law Preview students walk into their exams fully prepared to conquer them. Our Exam Taking Strategies Online Workshop teaches analytical skills like:
- What “issues” are, and how to spot them;
- How to properly frame issues that merit discussion;
- The three types of arguments that top students must make in support of (or against) the application of legal rules; and
- The sophisticated legal analysis they must utilize in order to compete for top grades.
Law Preview students not only learn fundamental analytical skills necessary for earning top grades, they also learn the correct way to draft an A+ answer employing:
- An essay format that clearly and effectively communicates their knowledge;
- Tips for distinguishing their answers from those of their classmates; and
- Strategies for effective time management to ensure they complete their exam.
Many of your law school classmates are walking into their fall exams prepared with the above knowledge through the BARBRI Law Preview’s Exam Taking Strategies Online Workshop. What are you doing to prepare for your law school exams?
