Gloria Kim thank you so much! I hope law school is going well so far 💕

[@ladysisyphus4243]

Quick Notes: 1. Have a consistent study routine. 2. Cut down social life. 3. Go to class, pay attention, & outline from the beginning. 4. Get an accountability partner. 5. Practice issue-spotting and practice exams. 6. MEMORIZE and learn how to apply the concepts (through practice). 7. Don’t be afraid to talk to the professor. 8. Have a strong and flexible Mindset - don’t give up and lean on your support system. Remember why you enrolled in the first place.

[@RoseRose-bz2fo]

Passing the LSAT is when you study hard,if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself help like Mr Thomas

[@AbigailAbigail-be2dw]

I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my friends out of ignorance 😔

[@gedion-mm9jd]

I have a cousin who never studied much,we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing LSAT, she passed and I failed😣, I asked her how she did it, just found out she got her help from Mr Thomas ..

Sometimes hard work doesn’t pay you have to back it up with smartness🤓, I think your cousin understood that perfectly

[@nirabai2393]

How do you feel about having bf/gf relationships during law school like is that a distraction

[@TheAspiringBoss]

Nira Bai if you’re already dating when you start, you just have to prep them. People don’t get it at first but they adjust and it works out fine. If you’re single going into law school, I would say focus on school for your first semester or two until you get the hang of it. I didn’t date at all my first year and it was nice because I didn’t have to stop studying early or feel guilty like some of my friends. 2L was a different story! I started dating and exploring the city a bit more and i actually ended up meeting my boo that year. So I’m not totally against it just make school your priority!

[@stephaniemccullough7725]

THANK YOU for being honest about the type of insane commitment I expect law school to be. I’m an incoming 1L and I personally do expect do not have a social life from August-December but I see a lot of KZbinrs say this isn’t necessary - I personally am planning on taking this really seriously so I’m glad to have someone who’s been through it validate my feelings 😂

I know this is a bit dated.. but could you do a tutorial on how to spot and apply key principles.. on something like the topic of negligence?

[@pranavpillai7778]

I think application really matters. Unfortunately, law school does not give you a lot of time or resources to apply the law. Also, mid-terms really messed me up since I did not get a study week.

That it was hard as hell for you too. xo

[@emmal9534]

0L asking here, so might sound really clueless. When you do practice exam, how do you know if you’ve done well? Do you take it to the professors and ask for feedback? Is there a marking scheme for you to refer to? How do you know you were not writing a B or even C grade answer over and over again?

[@TheAspiringBoss]

Yes definitely talk it over with your professor as well as some will provide an example answer that you can compare too.

[@Drfrancis6687]

Hey I think your videos are very informative. By chance do you have any advice on how to stay motivated and overcome obstacles. It seems that right when I get close to achieving a career or mental goal some unforeseen obstacle appears that hinders me from my progress and then it takes way too long to rebound.

Alvin M majority of my exams were closed book! I had a couple open book exams towards the end of law school but honestly since they are timed, it’s not very helpful. There’s just too much material to rely on open book.

[@TheAspiringBoss]

lovelygal2009 thank you! Ok yes i can make a video going into more detail. I didn’t use supplements except for property i used the barbri supplement because that subject is convoluted (lol). Generally, i don’t think supplements are necessary because the professors tailor their exams to their style and what they think is important. Just have a good outline and take good notes and write down examples the professors give and of course, practice! If you want a suggestion for supplements I would go with the examples and explanations series.

The Aspiring Boss okay thank you, and did this week boot camp help? Do you think there is more that you could’ve known before starting your 1L year and that wasn’t covered by the camp?

Jazymin Coleman glad to hear it! My advice would be to start taking them as early as possible but the reality is you don’t always have the relevant material to do that. I usually wouldn’t start taking them until midterms (if I had them for that class) and then when I started studying for finals which was about a month to a month 1/2 before exams.
