Using Tech to Maximize Bar Prep! Forum

Hey guys,

Thought it would be interesting to see how everyone is using technology to prepare and boost their scores. Are you using HDMI/screen extend or Chromecast for your lectures? Video chat conferences with friends? Anything innovative?

quizlet for flashcards which can be reviewed on the go is pretty awesome.

I created an Excel spreadsheet with what I want to accomplish before July 28. Then I have everything sorted by how much percent that task amounts to.
When I accomplish something I add the date of accomplishment and then have a chart that shows how I'm progressing.
Then I have a linear fit on it to see my expected date of completion of everything based on how fast I've progressed so far.

This all allows me to know how far behind/far ahead of schedule so it keeps me honest about not slacking off.

I've made these over the last couple days. I was staring at state essay topics absorbing nothing and getting nowhere, and making the flashcards has forced me to actively review. I've absorbed a decent amount just by making them. Having them to flip through when I'm on the toilet or whatever is a bonus.

This is awesome! Thanks! I should be doing that...I've been adding what I want to accomplish next on my Google calendar, but I think I'd like to see the bigger picture as you would with Excel... I might try it!
