Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast. Today, we're talking about how best to study for the bar exam if you're a visual learner. We have lots of fun techniques to discuss (which all types of learners can use), so tune in!

In this episode, we discuss:

• What is a visual learner and how do you know if you are one?
• Why it's so important to evaluate what your most effective study techniques were in law school and focus on those (instead of obsession over how everyone else thinks you should be studying for the bar exam)
• Two of our favorite topics – handwriting and practice – and why as a visual learner combining these two can lead to bar exam success
• Specific recommendations for study strategies – we explain what "spaced repetition" and "memory palaces" are and how you can put them to work for you
• One potential enemy to your success – visual distractions – and some tips to minimize them
