Bar Prep

[CertaintyOfTerms]

I am a 3L with a very light semester, I was looking to get a head start on studying for the bar exam. I know that the LSO does not release materials until much closer to the exam dates, but for anyone who has taken the bar, what are some things I can start doing now in order to prep?

To be honest in my experience bar exam prep is just becoming familiar enough with the materials to be able to find stuff quickly. I don't think reading up on areas of law that will be on the bar exam will be helpful before you get the materials, because the exams are literally just on their respective materials. They're also completely multiple choice exams, so you don't have to worry about typing speed or anything like that.

As @Garfield said, enjoy 3L! Don't stress about the bar exam until April at the absolute earliest. If you want to figure out prep at that point then come back here, there's lots of advice on the forum about different strategies and how to tackle studying.
