Cheat Sheets.
The bar exam--and preparing for the bar exam--stinks.
I hate making flashcards, but I can't seem to keep certain topics straight in my head, so I use cheatsheets:
This is kind of like mind-maping technique that legalgeekery recently attempted.
It's a lot more text-heavy--but I find by this method I can actually get a useful amount of information on a sheet, at a single glance.
The multiple-column format is a child of necessity. When I start running low on paper for note-taking, I fold it in thirds to make it last. I find that my notes are a lot more efficient that way, but I'm too lazy to implement it as a regular practice.
I suppose I could have done this by outlining in LaTeX--like I usually do, but I already have pre-made outlines from BarBri.
Generally, the cheat sheets are all about clearing my own mind--they're not supposed to be exhaustive.
Here's hoping they work.
