Episode 49 Show Notes:
Too often, bar exam students try to 'cram' material and then 'regurgitate' it back on the exam. In today's Episode, you'll learn why the 'Binge and Purge' model of learning is counterproductive to passing the bar.
Jackson will explain the reasons that trying to memorize and later recite material is not an efficient way to study or take your test and he recommends alternative study approaches with much greater success rates.

Episode 47 Show Notes:
How do you write a successful bar exam essay? By spotting issues, using the preferred law school method of Issue/Rule/Application/Conclusion... or is there a better way?
As you might imagine, in today's Episode we'll be discussing a writing style that is in fact better because it's more like what the actual practice of law looks like. We call it 'Common Sense' writing and after listening to this discussion, we think you'll want to know more about how it can work for you.
Check out today's episode and then let us know your thoughts, questions and experiences about writing for the bar exam.
