Re: Burnt out
Honestly, the best thing you can do for your test at this point is to stop studying, go have a glass of wine, and relax for a few hours before you go to sleep.

Re: Burnt out
I have been fighting back burnout, which I can feel seeping from my bones. Tomorrow at 5:01pm is going to be a glorious moment.

Re: Burnt out
Yeah, I think relaxing is the best idea. Tomorrow is my last final. I studied for the first 5 or 6 hours today. now I've just been looking at something for 15 mins once every few hours. IMO, its kind of like the LSAT- studying the night before is not going to change anything- not in a big way.
You've been (hopefully) studying for this all semester long. Taking the last 3 hours off won't hurt you. And, IMO, it can help you.
So. Eat some chocolate. Watch some porn/have some sex. Have a drink. Pet your dog. GL

This is underrated advice for the night before any exam.
Trust that you've actually learned something this semester; you probably have.

I wish our prof didn't give us 5 bazillion practice tests to do because I feel the urge to do them ALL.

If you have the model answers, as part of your outline, you should summarize what the questions asked in the exam were (i.e., the important points of law they intended to hit) and the main jist of the language the model answer used + take some excerpts from the model answer. You can then base your answers on proven verbiage.

Re: Burnt out
Pretty much my position right down to the letter, TC/OP. Pretty much tried to shove in a 12+ hour study day today for Torts because this is definitely the most crammed exam (plus the one I prepared for the least). Managed to get to about 8/9 hours before I reviewed one of my Profs practice exams (he does not give model answers). Had a panic attack and had to force my ass to get out of the library. I'm a bit more calm now after doing well in issue-spotting a random past exam with the most ridiculous set-up ever (people getting drunk at baseball games, throwing shoes at helicopters that result in death, etc). I think I'm just going to throw in the towel even though I really don't want to and hope everything just crystallizes through sleep.

Whenever I get closed to burnt out, I sit in bed for a while and watch inspirational youtube videos.

Is this for 3Ls only? I'm a 2L and I'm so over this already. And I just transferred to a school on a FECKING quarter system. Besides TToN, anyone else sympathize?

My last final is tomorrow and I have been useless the last two days. I have no motivation to gun for the top of the class, I just want to pass at this point.

I have enough juice left to carry me through until Friday 5:01 pm, then I'll burnout.

Totally burnt out. Not to mention I'm extremely disappointed in my performance on my exams so far and it makes me not want to study anymore

Dude, I'm fucking spent. Just spent. About to print out and tab final outline (my last is tomorrow at 530) - I just need to not think about any of this for a while. I love it, but... yeah. Not for a while.

Re: Burnt out
Totally burned out too. Last exam is our 2 credit fluff class which is a real Catch-22. No motivation to study because its 2 credits and fluff, but at the same time nobody has done any work in it so we all need to study at least a little bit.
