Word List. For closed-book essay exams, I recommend you memorize a short (no more than 20 words) list of topics that are likely to be on the exam. For example, in a Contracts course the word list might contain words such as: liquidated damages, mitigation, forseeability, quasi-contract, etc.
. . .
When the starting signal is given, first set up your time schedule. . . . [Next w]rite down your word list separately and save it. . . . Outline each essay question before writing out the answer to any of them. . . . Check your outline against the word list. For each word on the list ask yourself is this issue hidden in the question. For example, if one of the words on your word list is “promissory estoppel” ponder whether there are promissory estoppel issues that you haven’t thought about presented in the given fact pattern. If you do this carefully with each of the words on your list, I guarantee you that ideas will pop into your head that will earn you extra points you would otherwise have forfeited.
