pass the bar exam

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.

What can I say… the first time I took it I failed miserably… I confess that I didn’t prepare as I should have. I’m planning on taking the bar for the second time next March 2010… My baby is due three weeks before the next bar, so I won’t be ready to sit through a three-day long exam. But I’m preparing for next March.

I’m taking it for the second time…first time was in 2007 and it took me two years to recover! This better be the last time…

I finally submitted my application to take the Texas Bar.

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).

Taking the New York bar exam at the end of the summer… Hopefully passing on the first try!!

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.
