Podcast Episode 312: Mid-Term Exam Prep Basics for Law Students

October 5, 2021 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! In today’s episode, we share some tips that will help you be successful on your mid-term law school exams. Remember, this is a learning experience, so it’s normal not to do things perfectly. But prepare for mid-terms well, and you’ll be able to apply what you’ve learned later, when it matters more.

In this episode we discuss:

  • More and more professors are giving mid-term exams. Why is that a good thing?
  • How to do synthesis
  • Making a pre-writing outline
  • Practicing the IRAC structure
  • Finding the learning style that works best for you
  • How to approach multiple-choice questions
