Spend 3 days outlining the E&E and you'll be fine.

There's absolutely no way I can read a 700 page E&E in 3 days

You don't read the whole book. Come on now gunner. Some of it won't apply to your class, some of it you'll skip over because you aren't trying to learn every detail, and you'll skip most of the examples and explanations. You can go from zero to B+ in about 15 hours, and you've got two weeks.

It doesn't have to be the E&E specifically, just anything that gives you a nice overview of things.

This is the kind of thread that stresses me out when I previously felt 100% comfortable with 4 days to do everything for an exam. Then again, I've been lacking the fear that motivated me out of laziness during 1L, so maybe I should be thanking you.

Caring at all already puts you ahead of 30-40% of your class. Just grind out a couple rough days and you'll be fine.

I felt fucked for corps, then I took the exam and it was incredibly difficult, and then I did badly.

So yea, it's a dark road.

Two weeks? You could literally reread every reading assignment, outline from scratch, memorize that outline/key parts of that outline, and spend 2-3 days taking practice exams in two weeks. Why are you worried?

I feel you. I was confused because it seemed like you were super worried about time.

But you know what to do. Get good outline from somebody else, add in your own shit from notes, read E&E sections only for stuff you don't understand, memorize stuff, take 3 practice exams. You can do that in 3-4 days.

This is way too dramatic. Pretty much any course can be learned in like 3 days to a level where you can do pretty close to your usual standard whether that be As, Bs or whatever.

Would this approach work for a closed-book Civ Pro I exam?

Prob not, at least not this lax of a method and that detailed of a subject, and esp not closed book.

with closed book you need to be doing something to help it stick, writing and rewriting it or flash cards or something.
