Exam Do's & Don't
DO'S
- Create a study schedule — and stick to it.
- Complete most or all your outlines before Reading Period.
- Get enough food, sleep, and exercise while you are studying.
- Research your professor’s style of exams. Find out what types of exams and questions he or she is likely to ask. Remember all of the suggestions a professor makes about answering his or her exam questions.
- Check your outline for completeness and accuracy by comparing it to the professor’s syllabus, or other people’s outlines.Incorporate the professor’s focus and style into your studying.
- If the professor emphasized particular concepts, counter-arguments or policies in class, you should be prepared to incorporate those ideas into your exam answers.
- Study for open book exams as though they were closed book exams.
- Memorize key definitions and elements of law, especially for a closed book exam.
- Take as many practice exams as you can under exam-like conditions. Compare your answers with model answers or with your friends’ answers.
- If your professor offers to read your answer to a practice question, take advantage of it! This type of feedback is the best way to find out whether your answer is on the mark and matches the professor’s expectations.
- Try alternative study techniques, including making flashcards or creating flowcharts.
- Make a spark sheet or checklist and use it to help memorize key terms and definitions.
- If you have an open book exam, make your outline accessible by creating a table of contents or tabbing key parts.
- Study each subject in small increments over a period of many days.
- Prepare for the exam by gathering supplies (water, watch, earplugs, pens, etc.) or making sure that your computer is working properly.

DONT'S
- Wait until the Reading Period to write your outlines.
- Rely primarily on someone else’s outline, commercial outlines, or study aids.
- Study materials and topics not covered in your class.
- Assume that an open book exam requires less study time. It is unlikely that you will have much time to consult materials during an open book exam.
- Cram your studying into the few days before the exam.
- Pull an all-nighter before an exam.
- Forget successful study techniques you used as an undergraduate. If you have a method for studying that has worked for you before, try it in law school, too.
- Study for long periods of time without taking breaks. Studies show that the average
- person can only concentrate for 50 minutes. After that, your ability to learn and attention span decline.
- Procrastinate.
Studying Power Snacks
Ingredients:
- 1 (6oz) Container of fresh blueberries
- 1 (6oz) container nonfat blueberry
Greek yogurt.
NOTE: I have also used honey, vanilla and strawberry. All are delish!
Directions:
1. Start by washing your blueberries and lining a small baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
2. Using a toothpick, dip each blueberry into the Greek yogurt and swirl until the blueberry is nicely coated with yogurt. Place on baking sheet. Continue this until all blueberries are coated.
3. Place baking sheet into freezer, and let freeze for at least an hour.
After about an hour, your Frozen Yogurt Covered Blueberries can be placed in a zip-lock baggie and stored in the freezer. Take out what you need for snack time and enjoy.
Serves: 1-2
Ingredients
- 1 apple, cored and sliced into rings
- Almond butter
- Granola
- Generously spread almond butter on one apple slice. Sprinkle granola over almond butter and top with another apple slice. Repeat using remaining apple slices and almond butter.
Multi_grain Flat bread Cracker Snacks
Slice some tomatoes, Crumble some feta &&sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian herbs. Drizzle with your stashed olive oil and freshly ground pepper.
Slice up some fresh strawberries. Spread a tablespoon of cream cheese on your crispbread and sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon, or vanilla salt.
Smear peanut, almond, cashew — whatever butter you are into — onto your crispbread. Thinly slice your apple, and drizzle with honey and cinnamon, which you hopefully have at work. You can substitute the apple for a banana to mix things up.
Nutella Bites
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts
- 2 Tbsp. ground flax seeds
- 1 Tbsp. chia seeds
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Combine all ingredients together in a food processor and pulse until combined. Cover mixture and transfer to the refrigerator, and let cool for about 30-60 minutes. (This will slightly harden the mixture and make it easier to form into balls.)
When mixture is cool, remove and roll into balls of your desired size. (Mine were about 1-inch in diameter.) Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in a covered container
To get yourself away from the desk here are good stretches you could do to relax your body && ease your stress!
During this Exam time is important to take care of yourself! being Healthy Body && Mind will help you focus && achieve success! So get enough sleep! exercise && eat well! && studying will be a breeze!
Good luck to you all!!!
With never ending love
