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?
