PROPERTY CRAMMING

Post by ariannagriffinrin » Tue Oct 25, 2016 10:28 am

Hello!

My name is Arianna and I am in between 1L and 2L year (Part time, weekends.) I have a property exam and I wanted to know how late is too late? I am also taking Crim and con law 1 and I am freaked out. I work during the week for 80 hours and I think taking 3 classes was way too much for me. Anybody have any cramming advice for any of these classes? Mainly, property though, because I have the midterm this weekend and it's 25% of our grade. None of these exams are open note, sadly.

Thanks in advance :)

not gonna comment on most of the absurdities of this post, but as far as cramming this close to an exam... read and re-read outline, and take a few gambles and eliminate topics that you don't think will be widely covered on the exam. This will give you less material to study. Probably better to have a good grasp of 60% of the material then have a weak grasp of 100% of the material.

Thanks for your reply! I do appreciate it, but when you say absurdities? What exactly are you referring to?

That you work 80 hours per week and are taking a full-time (or close to it) course load on the weekends. More power to you, but when do you sleep?
