Law school exams can be challenging, but with the right approach and techniques, you can prepare effectively and perform well on your exams. Here are some evidence-based revision tips that can help you study for law school exams:

  1. Start early: Don't wait until the last minute to start studying. Instead, plan your revision well in advance, and start early. This will give you enough time to cover all the material and avoid the stress of cramming before exams.
  2. Understand the exam format: Know what type of exam you will be taking, whether it's a multiple-choice, essay, or a mix of both. This information will help you tailor your revision and study approach accordingly.
  3. Create a study schedule: Allocate time for each subject and stick to the schedule. This will help you balance your revision, prioritize the most important topics, and avoid burnout.
  4. Active learning: Instead of passive reading, engage in active learning activities such as creating flashcards, outlining key concepts, or teaching the material to someone else. This will help you retain information better.
  5. Use mnemonics: Mnemonics are memory aids that can help you remember complex information. Create mnemonics to help remember legal rules, cases, and key concepts.
  6. Practice with past exams: Practicing with past exams can give you a good idea of the types of questions you may encounter on the actual exam. It will also help you improve your time management and identify areas where you need to improve.
  7. Get feedback: Ask a tutor or professor for feedback on your performance and seek help in areas where you are struggling. This will give you a clearer understanding of the material and help you identify areas for improvement.
  8. Get enough sleep: Proper sleep is essential for maintaining mental clarity and focus during exams. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night and avoid staying up late cramming.

In conclusion, studying for law school exams requires a well-structured revision plan and effective study techniques. The purpose of revision plans is to re-visit your notes, to think through what you're trying to study, how well you've studied so far, and where you still need to make adjustments and improvements.
