pass the bar exam

My plan is for work to slowdown for me and for my boss to cut down my hours within 6 weeks so that I can start restudying for the bar exam. I plan to set myself up for success for NJBE Feb 2010.

work obligations caused me to bump this goal to Feb 2010. However, I’m working hard to line up the study time, leave, etc. to make this happen. I had memorized up to a 900 item outline, but I’ve slacked in reviewing. Time to get that started up again.

My application is almost done, for New Jersey Bar exam Feb 2008

I have a 750 line outline memorized. I have a subscription to adaptibar. And I have materials for each subject matter and on how to write essays. I’ll post the names of them here later. I’ll finish my application for the new jersey bar exam this week, although it may take me longer to get some driver’s abstracts (darn).

Rewrote the different versions of my outline I need to memorize (from shortest to longest) and I memorized some new material. This is in prep for the MBE.
Questions:
1. What’s the best memorization techniques or programs you’ve actually used? Particularly ones that are less commonly known.
2. How many discrete facts do you think one needs to have memorized? 400? 1,000? 10,000?

One Note apparently has these features for typing. I didn’t know that!

I’ve been waiting for this book I want to use to be sent to me. It’s gotten to the point of stalling. I need to do more to stay warm on what I know and to learn new things. I can’t afford to blow the NJ Bar Exam in February.

I memorized my basic outline, which is about 5 pages or so. Now I plan to memorize my outline in 2 or three more stages of detail, before the final stage. The final stage is about 150 pages. Don’t know if I’m going to memorize the whole thing, or just read through it 100 times, before starting to do problems. This is in prep for the Feb. ‘09 New Jersey bar exam (although I suppose there’s a tiny chance I may take it in July ‘08).

A friend mailed me a copy of my basic outline, which I’d left at my old place, so now I plan to rememorize my weak points. Then moving on to the expanded 150 page outline.

By April 1st, I need to start making the right moves in this direction. There’s a book I’m using to prep, that I left in another city. I need to get my friends to express mail it to me.
