I will not start memorizing until after the review course ended.
I divided up the schedule and created my own schedule for the subjects (which I will get to in another blog). I then tried to memorize elements for 2 or 3 subjects a day. It worked out fine.
Almost everyone I knew started memorizing after review class ended, so don't stress out about that now. Just focus on doing the practice questions and practice essays and formulating something to memorize off of. For me, that was my outlines. For others, it was note cards.
I guess my only advice on this subject for now is not to stress out about it now. In the meantime, you should be complying or creating something that you will memorize off of in the last few weeks (i.e. outlines you make, outlines you bought or got somewhere, or note cards). You really shouldn't be trying to get or make the stuff after Barbri ends. Get that all done now, so all you need to focus on later is the memorization and practice.

If you want, do some light studying before your bar exam prep begins. But don't go too heavy because you don't want to develop habits and ways of attacking questions which your bar prep program does not recommend. You usually won't need more than two months to get ready, max!
