Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today, we're discussing what to think about to be successful on the bar, especially if you haven't taken many closed-book exams in law school.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Limiting the amount of material you'll be trying to learn
• The three categories of law showing up on the bar exam
• Different memorization techniques
• Learning tips that tend to work for everyone
