When you first realize how much material is being tested on the state sections of the bar exam, you will be overwhelmed. Depending on how you count, the New York Bar Exam has eleven subjects, the California Bar Exam has at least five major subjects, and the Virginia Bar Exam has a whopping twenty plus. The sheer volume of the state materials is frightening, which is compounded by the fact that the state law is entirely new to many of the bar exam takers.
The best way to get past this overwhelm, and to really start concentrating on learning the law, is to very rapidly become familiar enough with the material that you lose all feelings of panic and overwhelm. You need a healthy and realistic view of the bar exam that leads to serious studying but panic and overwhelm are utterly useless emotions that lead to procrastination and fake studying, i.e., going through the motions of studying without actually learning.
With these points in mind, I offer the following method for quickly becoming familiar with the state materials. It only takes a few hours of your study time to implement this method, so you really have nothing to lose by trying it.
First, get a good set of outlines that hit a medium point between a quick attack outline of a page or two and a monster outline with every detail. Generally, a good outline for a state subject should be 10 to 30 pages long in small print.
Second, if you have downloaded outlines off of the internet or borrowed outlines from a friend, put all your outlines in front of you and make sure your materials match what will be tested on the state bar exam. Google the official information page for your state bar exam and check your outlines. You do not need to waste time on a subject that is not being tested.
Third, purchase three highlighters in three different colors. Pick up the first outline and take a look at how it is organized, how the headings are set up, etc. Go through and highlight the top level headings in one color, the second level headings in another color, and the third level headings in another color. Do this with all of your outlines.
Fourth, make quick mini-outlines of all your outlines with the first, second and third level headings. This should not take too long; just write it out if that is quicker than sitting down at the computer.
Fifth, move away from your usual study area and find your TV chair or other relaxing spot. Take out your mini-outlines and look them over in a relaxed way. Count the headings and sub-headings. Arrange them by length and alphabetically. If you are taking a review course, look over your syllabus and put your mini-outlines in the order they will be covered in class. See what rings a bell from law school and what seems totally new. Ask yourself questions: Which subject looks easy? Which one looks hard? What could that new term mean? Why are there eight subheadings about something called section 2003 FGRPN? Just get comfortable with the material!
Sixth and last, do a rapid read through of the longer outlines. Get a timer and give yourself about thirty seconds per page. Use a pencil to mark sections that seems confusing or interesting. Mark areas that will probably require sheer memorization. Basically, mark the outlines in a way that makes sense to you. You are doing this with an eye towards familiarity, not toward actually getting the subject down pat, so do not stress about actually learning anything at this point.
It should take no more than a few hours to do all of the above, but the pay-off will be enormous. Familiarly is a key concept in learning. The more you see and play around with the state materials, the less daunted you will be by the sheer volume. If you follow these guidelines, you will be more prepared in a day than most people are in the first month of studying.
