Thread: I can't concentrate!!!

  1.   I can't concentrate!!! #1
    I am trying to study for the Feb bar exam, and I can't seem to sit still for more than 10 minutes since yesterday. If I keep doing this I will fall behind my study plan. If I fall behind my study plan, which I already have, I will fail!!! Any helpful ideas?

    Focus on the benefits. Imagine the bar admission ceremony. Imagine your friends and relatives being so proud of you. Imagine you in your dream career. Imagine your future paycheck!!!

    practice, don't just memorize when you can't concentrate

    At this point, you should be practicing complete essays and performance tests, timed. Doing MBE's and outlining essays does not take the place of "the real thing." This is why theatre companies have dress rehearsals -- that's how you prepare for The Big Day.

    When I prepared for the Bar, I found that the best cure for boredom was a 2-inch-square non-digital clock on my desk, a computer in front of me, lined scratch paper on the side, pens/pencils/ markers of various colors, and a three essay questions from prior exams (one in each of three subjects or a Performance Test from a prior exam.

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to get bored with that.

    The next best cure for boredom was a printout of my work product side by side with the Bar's two passing answers (or a commercial "model answer") and a red pen, to see what I got and what I missed.

    Go for it. You can do it!

    Don't spend so much time surfing on the internet. The internet is very distracting!!

    A lot of sites that keep you reading for hours! Cool

    I suggest offline until time for the bar!
