Now that most first year law students have finished their final LRW assignment for the term, it is not time to relax. While 1L's can cross one big item off their "to do lists," it is very important for 1L's to remain focused on the push toward final and mid-term exams. Do not rehash that final writing assignment; instead, move on to exam preparation.
1. Continue to update, review, and condense those course outlines.
2. Stay up-to-date on all remaining assignments for your doctrinal courses.
3. Be sure that you know the dates and room locations for all of your end of term exams.
4. Prepare and stick to your study schedule. Be specific for every block of time as to how you will allocate your time.
5. Your study schedule must continue throughout the Thanksgiving Break. Now is not the time to let up.
6. Be certain to include doing practice exams in your study regimine: do both essay and multiple choice questions, when appropriate.
7. Meet with classmates to review exam answers — after writing the answers yourself.
8. Take time to enjoy Thanksgiving and breathe.
