just about to start my 3rd week. over the last few days the volume of work skyrocketed. it went from 2-4 hours of "homework" to like 8-10 (based on recommended time allowances)

do they really expect people to keep up?

i think you dont have to read the big outlines before hand. that saves a fair amount of time.

just do it. it isn't very difficult to keep up if you stop goofing off. yes, it's probably way more than you need, but you really only want to go through this fucking test once.

it seems impossible unless you lock yourself in your room and only leave to use the bathroom

if you go to the gym or even eat a regular meal you're out of hours in the day

I did the entire barbri paced program and had time for the gym every day, meals with friends, and even some tv. just treat it like a 10-hour-a-day job.

don't know/remember what an AMP is. maybe that's only state specific (and I took the bar in 2010). i also don't remember having any optional assignments. there was a pdf calendar with the assignments for each day. i did them, in addition to flashcards.

they helped me out a lot. i had never used them before. but i was having a hard time memorizing all the essay subjects. so on july 4 weekend i bought 1,000 index cards and filled them up over the three days. the process of creating them actually helped the most

It picked up a bit and I slacked off. It's still early enough that I can catch up, but I see how much shit they want you to do and it gets kind of discouraging.

The four hour lectures each weekday are annoying enough.

i ignored it completely. do the multiple choice practice tests, but you can ignore sets 5-6. practice your state essays, but the barbri grading is bullshit so don't bother with it.

I'd do sets 5 and 6. If you can get 50-60% or so on those then you know you'll pass easily. That confidence is worth it.

SKIM the outlines beforehand (don't read for memorization), outline most of the practice essays, but ever 3rd or 4th one be sure to actually do them timed. The biggest skill to nail down is outlining all the issues quickly, but you'll want to practice actually writing out a coherent answer. Write out all the graded essays (they'll give you good feedback). Do all the required MC's.

If you're not a mouth breather, you should be able to accomplish this all before dinner after your AM class. Also, try doing some of your MC's early in the morning before class to save time.

Maybe so, and I definitely slacked in law school, but I was in full "don't fuck around" mode for the bar. Had I applied myself like that in law school, I would have probably been top 5 persons of the class instead of top 10% total.
