Practice, Practice, Practice!

I came across a New York Times article that was published this past January. It's titled To Really Learn, Quit Studying and Take a Test. As soon as I read it, I knew I had to share it with you. It couldn't be more on point for the purposes of the bar exam.

I've been heralding the importance of taking practice tests as an effective and efficient way to prepare for the bar exam. It is at the heart of my preparation philosophy. The idea being that you should practice what you will be asked to do on exam day so that you can get really, really good at it. Taking practice exams is a sure-fire way to test what you think you know, and reveals your gaps in knowledge and understanding in a way that other forms of study simply can't offer. Plus (and this is my favorite part), it causes you to learn the material faster and better. And thanks to this article, I now have the research to prove it!
