40ish

civ is less but i have a lot of charts/checklists

[lymenheimer]

The one for my first exam is 41 pages right now. Probably another 15-20 pages left. Then gonna do an attack outline. Another one is 1 page (for my last exam, but def doin work, son). and my middle exam one is like 20 pages right now, probably gonna be close to 30.

lol, my contracts outline is currently 10 pages.... not fully done, but realistically prob wont hit more than 15 if that

My contracts outline is short as well. Civ Pro will probably end up around 35 or so pages plus flow charts, and Reg State is around 25 pages.

civ is definitely my longest so far, i'm trying to cut it down now... unsuccessfully

[Smallville]

all of my outlines are relatively similar in length (tho didnt start torts lol) but I just naturally condense info in my head so I don't really know how I would stretch mine too much longer so it doesn't make sense to me really how people can have such long outlines... (aside from a decent buffer from cases included - I dont really have too many in mine, and for what I do the info isnt all that long about them)

[chicharon]

how long are your outlines?

25-30 pages

annnnnnnnnnd the job hunt begins

My Contracts professor will only let us bring a 10 page outline into the exam!

Our torts prof is only letting us bring in a notecard. Nice knowing y'all

Of course i found all the errors in my application materials tonight...after applying to 20+ positions this morning.

Study breaks perusing Symplicity and NALP unsurprisingly hollow and not restorative.

(refreshes TLS in case more procrastination can be had)

First final today Hoping I don't blank or freak out and lose track of time.

Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday. I'm right there with you. part 1) because 3 weeks of study/stress/etc is lame. Part 2) because I feel v underprepared.

We had our last day of classes on Wednesday. So barely any reading days -_- luckily everyone is in the same boat, so I guess that's good

so taking an old exam for contracts with a group of people (its from 02 bc apparently our professor hasn't taught this in awhile) its a 2 hour test, most people have 1300-1500+ words between the 3 questions and I'm over here with 975 words.... like I should just drop out now right?

[evanesco]

Thank you! I think it went well for the most part (at least I hope it did)

3 more exams to go - Tuesday, Friday, and then Tuesday next week

They could be typing stuff that isn't on point-- at least that was the case with me on a practice exam I just took.

eta:

In brief: grades improve with length up to roughly the length of the median student essay; beyond that point students realize no grade gains for longer answers. I know students are always thinking about exams and searching for the hidden key; this discussion should be of great interest to them.
