re: Louisiana Bar Exam Prep

Barbri. It ain’t cheap, but it’s effective.

IMO, the in-person prep classes weren’t that helpful to me. What really got me through the bar was working old exams with the solutions.

I went issue by issue, following the following routine for each one:

Step 1: copy the sample answer by hand word for word while looking at it

Step 2: attempt to copy the sample answer again while only glancing at it as few times as possible.

Step 3: try to answer the exact same question in your own words while glancing occasionally at what you wrote before.

Step 4: answer the question without looking at anything.

Step 5: answer another question which uses a different fact pattern but the same basic analysis

Step 6: check the answer from step 5 against the sample answer and grade yourself

Repeat this process for every type of question on the bar.
