Thanks for your comments, Mona! I will be sitting for it in Feb. 09 and plan to use a laptop, so I will hopefully minimize the terrible hand cramps you experienced. (Is there a reason you opted for handwritten instead of using a computer?) I am also working out at the gym a la "Rocky" to pump up my hand strength, full body stamina, and confidence...:-)
I am planning on using the
BarOutlines, but am also considering supplementing them with a formal review class. Everyone knows about
BarBri, but I understand there are two other regional bar review companies in WA. Any thoughts on them, pro or con? I live in NV, so I will have to do the home-study routine. I also paid the WA bar for copies of old essays.
Any suggestions re: organization strategy or time mgmt.? (Did you feel you had ample time to complete all Qs?) Any special "tricks" or "curve balls" to be aware of on the essays?? How much time did you allot for each question? And how are they graded?
Last but not least, do you have any study materials for purchase?
Thanks!!
Kate
