There's also the Pomodoro technique for managing study time.

You work in focused 25-minute blocks and then take a five-minute break.

That prevents burnout and keeps you from getting overwhelmed.

Yeah, right.

And your brain can only focus intensely for so long.

So short bursts with breaks are more effective than marathon sessions.

And then there's interleaving, which means mixing up subjects instead of studying one thing for hours, forces your brain to work harder to distinguish between concepts, which strengthens your understanding.

So instead of doing 50 math problems in a row, you do 10 math, 10 reading, 10 science, then back to math.

And it feels harder, but the learning sticks better.

The bar exam is its own beast.

Yeah.

I'm sure.

You're so kind.

But this is why good prep is essential.

So most people take a bar prep course like Barbary, Themis, Kaplan.

These courses cost three to four grand, and they basically consume your life for two to three months.

And there's a reason it got that insane.

Barbary's parent company, West Publishing, they got hit with an antitrust class action.
