That was my thought as well.

Thank you MegaTTTron

thanks mega

My study method was almost the same as this except I did the reading at the beginning of the week and again before class. Endorse.

Great tips.

The one thing I will say that I disagree with is study groups. For me, they were worthwhile. I had one study partner the entire year, with a few other people occassionally joining us. This helped me in two ways. First, getting a different perspective on things can be good. Second, she was a far harder worker than me. Getting called at 10 pm to be asked a question when I had been watching TV for hours made me feel guilty. It also made me want to keep up (I am the competitive sort).

I would caveat this in that it is imperative to have people who work very hard, and are smart. The average students will not help because you will be beyond them if you are gunning for top10%+.

PS. Good luck transferring (if you want to) Megatron.

You know what. I think I was a bit unclear. I had a "study group" according to your definition. The #2 and #3 students in my class and I studied for every exam together. I don't consider this a study group, just my two best friends at the school. In retrospect, I guess you could all that a "study group." What I'm referring to, is a Paper Chase study group, or anything larger than 2 or 3 people. So I would say that you are right on, Mal.

And thanks for the good luck, I will be attending a CCN in the fall!

Thanks!

How did you befriend the #2/#3 students in your class? That must be either astounding luck or deliberate effort.

They were in my section, and clearly very smart (you can pick out the brilliant students from the gunners after about a week). And we just sort of fell into into it. Then second semester I guess they figured out I wasn't a complete idiot and we studied a little more together. haha.

i might write a guide too. Maybe I should wait on my con law grade before doing so. I dont want to write a guide and then get a D in con law.

it is going to be called. the lazy man's guide to doing well in law school.

Thanks for the great article, Mega.

I cannot wait to read it. There is a void in that department on TLS. To many fuckin' gunners.

I'm working on a couple updates:

I'm adding more detailed sections on supplements, final exams, networking with profs, and I'm going to break down each 1L class and method for each.

This is coming in the next week or so.

ALSO -- 300th post. bitchin'

You're a machine. Thanks for the information.

Wow, thanks for the advice Megatron.

Updated. Finally.

Thanks Mega. This is great.

congrats on the grades mega

You're it.

Lame, I know...but I couldn't resist.

Unless I'm not a person (see underline), but a law school exam-writing robot cleverly disguised as such (which would explain a lot, wouldn't it), the bolded just is not a true statement. I almost feel insulted. Actually, I have to admit, now that I have a 1 in 4 chance at finishing 1st in my trashy Law Center, I've been considering doing some work. Maybe I'll read your guide and learn how to do that...

This response makes no sense. How is the bolded not a true statement? Are you saying that you got a 4.0 without doing any work and that megaTTTron knows you?
