Here are some excerpts from this week’s series
Often, students focus on memorizing
the authorities rather than the
principles. My trick was to first understand
the principles and deferred memorizing the
Orders or names of cases to a later date –
usually when exams were approaching
My study strategy was simple. I studied
in blocks. I had a 4-hour block study
period. Each day, I did three blocks. And
that means I studied at most 12 Hours each
day.
I gave myself rewards for studying. I had set
standards for myself. Why I did that was to
maximize productivity whilst minimizing
breaks and to create free time to engage in
other activities anytime I was not studying.
With this, I never felt overwhelmed because
I covered a bit of the workload each day
