Episode description
Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this episode, we're talking about the difference between passive learning (such as reading notes or listening to a lecture) and active learning (such as memorization and deep understanding).
In this episode, we discuss:
- How to assess if you're spending most of your time on passive studying
- What is active studying and why is it more effective?
- Finding the balance between passive and active studying
- Why you have to start taking practice exams before you are ready
- What can lead to burnout quickly during bar prep
