Bar Exam Studying Tip: Using Flash Cards, Part 2

So another tip to those studying for the bar exam (right now!): You know how BarBri asks you to read the outlines before class? Well, it's a little tiresome and rote... But better would be to just read through your flashcards. It's a bit more interactive, and it gets you one step ahead by forcing you to vet your flashcards, sorting those which are "easy"--and put those in the intermediate, or "blue," pile--and then putting those that you don't know perfectly into the hard, or "red," pile.

This way, you're not just staring blankly at a stack of outlined material, but actually playing a mental game--with a goal--with your flashcards.
