My biggest weakness is my horrible attention span and how long it’s taking me to get through the foundation videos. I wasn’t the best law student so I don’t want to skip them but I just can’t watch video after video without scrolling on my phone. I feel like I’m a day or 2 behind
Right now, I'm thinking of doing a few hours of lecture/active learning (BARBRI), then doing GOAT, then moving into practice questions, and ending with memorization of black letter law. For those who have gone through it, does that seem like a good approach?
How many hours were you realistically studying each day, and how did you break things up to stay focused?
Also, handwritten notes on the videos? Or using the outlines that BARBRI has?
Any advice on what actually worked (or didn't) would be really helpful.
My school has a contract with BARBRI and I get it for free but I have a low attention span and have looked into Themis. I got a significant discount and now I’m considering paying for Themis. Is it worth it???
I’ve heard BARBRI has more in depth law than Themis but anyone have thoughts? I’m only considering Themis because of the short videos. Is paying $1k+ worth it?
I’m starting bar prep this week. I have the physical books that were $250. I am just about to start the fundamental videos. I’m wondering for the full substantive lecture: How are people taking notes? ARE people taking notes? If so, are they in the margins of the books/outline or fully from the video lectures.
I want to know what has worked for people and what hasn’t. So I can get a sense now of efficiency vs figuring it out a month before.
