Austin Groothuis has updated his list of links to exam advice for law students. I am reproducing it here to make sure it gets wide distribution.

Austin, take it away...

Once again, it's that time of year. If you are a 1L, you are feeling the pressure of your first law school exams. Lucky for you, I've gathered some of the advice out there.

CALI Podcasts

1) Tips for multiple choice exams

2) Top 10 tips for writing a law school essay

3) Three more conversations with law professors about exams

Other Resources

1) Massive compilation of advice on Top Law Student Blog

2) Advice from Permissive Joinder Blog

3) Advice from a professor on Evan Shaeffer's Legal Underground

4) A post about issue spotting from Evan Shaeffer's Legal Underground

5) Advice from Prof. Greg Bowman of Law Career Blog

6) Advice on how to flunk exams from another law student in Chicago.

7) Hofstra's Law Library blog posts more exam week suggestions.

That's a lot of advice and I know if you are a 1L that you probably don't have time to go over it all with exams fastly approaching. But hopefully you have some time to look through and/or listen to some of them.

The Frugal Law Students has a nice post that points to some CALI resources for law students, but the interesting thing about the post is this...

"...If you're pressed for time and want to speed up the pace of listening to your Mp3s ... I condensed an entire Civ Pro Lecture to half the original amount of time. What's great about it is that the tone doesn't change, so it doesn't sound like you're listening to a chipmunk...."

I have given presentations to law faculty over the past two years and mentioned this notion specifically - it always got laughs, but I was serious that it was happening. Now I have proof!
