Time management tips for law school exams?
My boyfriend knows all of the information, but on his law school exams, he spends too much time on multiple choice questions. Does anyone have “been there-done that” tips for time management on these exams? He only had 15 minutes left to write his essay on his practice midterm today!
Thanks for any help you can give?
With multiple choice, the best thing he can do is practice. There are a lot of sources for practice questions (i.e. Q&A books, MBE study guides), all of which should be available in his school’s library. He might want to talk to his professors to see which ones they would recommend.
He needs to be able to eliminate the wrong answers first. The best way to do this is to read the call of the question (i.e. the question posed at the end of the scenario), then read the answer choices. At that point, one (maybe two) will pop out as just plain wrong (e.g. the answer mistates the law). Then, read the problem. Having an idea of what to look for in the problem reduces the need to go back through it again. That’s the biggest piece of advice.
However, in order to do this well, he needs to practice. By that I don’t just mean “do a lot of problems”. He needs to do them under timed conditions (something approximating the time he will have on the exam).
