Look at past exams, and if there's best answers, I would just focus on those.

Maybe study instead of make threads all year about whether you should drop and how you aren't studying or doing well in classes.

I just read the boat book the day or two before the final since it's short and did okay, but we also had some practice questions we could work through and I had been doing the reading all semester. If you haven't been doing the reading then I don't know, you might want to just try to do E&E's as fast as possible?

I think it's just going to come down to luck in the end anyway. Study if you want. I think getting A's in law school was probably just a matter of knowing the material for the class like the back of your hand and then slaving over past exams, so that you could copy the writing styles that got A's. I have no clue because I never got an A before I dropped out, but I get the feeling that's what it came down to.

So, you're saying getting As is actually about knowing the material and how to write a law exam, and nothing to do with luck?

Just answer promissory estoppel on everything. Should get you at least a B.
