Hi Lee,
You can reach me anytime during your prep. at
cabartutor@gmail.com
Generally, I would reccommend a practice based approach, using the Red
Pmbr book both as actual practice and to learn black letter law. You should do short bunches of questions at a time, so that you actually remember each question when you are correcting them. I would advise making notecards (just index cards are fine) for each statement of black letter law laid out in the answers, with notes to yourself to help you recall (i.e. eggroll on floor hypo).
As for the PT, you should get a used
BarBri book, or download many old PTs from the calbar.gov website. For the essays i suggest BarBreakers by Jeff Adachi. Follow the book, do the samples, do times 1 hour exams, etc. -as he advises.
Set a schedule. Give yourself a day every few weeks for "catch up" but try to stay on schedule as much as possible otherwise. Give yourself time to live--- workout, eat, sleep, do normal things. Once late June rolls around you will want to be more strict with your time, but you don't want to burn out so schedule smart!
Should you decide you want to consult a tutor, please feel free to contact me. Or if you have any quick questions i would be happy to give you my opinions.
It is very "early" in the game, so start getting your materials together, scope out a good study place-- cafe, library, whatever is NOT at home and is somewhere you feel comfortable, start working out an overall prep. plan and a schedule for the next month or so and get into those MBE's!
Good luck!
