Re: California Feb 2008 Study Group - flash cards and study notes

I passed the CA bar on my first try without using a commercial course. (I did use books i bought used on craigslist.)

I bring this up because in response to your question, i would advise AGAINST using other people's flashcards. I believe-- based on my own experiences (took and passed MA my first time and then took the CA bar only 6 months later studying alone and passed that)-- that 99% of the benefit of flashcards is gained in MAKING them. Trust me here-- it sticks in your brain not just by "flashing" in front of your eyes, or by reviewing them over and over-- the most beneficial part is choosing what to write, and handwriting it out yourself-- mind/body connection.

good luck!
