Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we're sharing our top 5 last-minute exam tips that will help you see the big picture and fill in some of the details of law school exam prep.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Putting together the study materials for yourself
  • Seeking additional help from your professors, classmates, a study group, or a tutor
  • Getting a realistic understanding of how well you're doing
  • Knowing the law in detail, not in broad strokes
  • Having a big-picture plan and keeping yourself well enough to take the exam
  • Do not give up if you feel you're behind, because a lot can be done even in a few days!
