Best way to study one particular subtopic

Post by Hanntastic » Mon Jul 11, 2016 2:56 pm

I'm taking Barbri and just did the mock MBE. My worst subject without a doubt is Torts and mostly negligence. I've read the CMR and my lecture notes and made flashcards but I just don't seem to be improving in it. Does anyone any advice on the best ways to review specific sub-topics that I'm not getting?

Barbri recommends cracking open the big outline book and reading through the subtopic there. You could also try Barbri's AMP. Some people seem to really rave about it, while others (including myself) find it to be a waste of time. All about how you learn best! Good luck.

I'm also bad at Torts. For that, and other subjects I'm bad at, I've found that reading the CMR out loud is the way to go. I have tried reading silently, but I tend to skim when I do that because I get bored and lose focus. Reading out loud forces me to focus, and I've noticed that I remember the analysis a lot more clearly after reading it a couple times.

Negilgence is an incredibly broad and expansive sub-topic. Are you having trouble with ALL negligence problems (doubtful) or are there certain key sub-sub sections within negligence that you seem to have recurring problems with?

Thanks guys... It is probably mainly proximate cause v actual cause but I wouldn't mind reviewing all of negligence to be stronger on it.
