  • So what helped me was moving while studying. That’s how I passed the Bar exam. What does that mean, multiple things. 1 way that worked was to throw a ball up and down while saying the thing I needed to memorize out loud, extra points if you could do it to a rhythm. 2. I would listen to lectures and talks on the subject while taking a walk. You could either record yourself saying your facts or find a YouTube video on the subject. It might help to hear the info in a different way. 3. Flash cards help so far as letting you know what you don’t have memorized yet. 4. Read the info word for word, then repeat as if you’re teaching someone the info.

    For me moving and saying it out loud helped more than rewriting because I have learned to zone out while I write. As in I can be in a lecture and write notes while also engaging in class in real time because my hand is essentially independent of my brain. What does help writing wise is to do practice questions that way you’re rewriting, but also changing the language enough so that your brain doesn’t zone out from the repition. Repition is a personal brain killer that my brain will do absolutely anything to avoid.
