# The bar exam study week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/bar-exam-study-schedule/

A full-time bar exam study week: lectures or outlines from 08:30, multiple-choice practice at 13:00, timed essays at 15:30, half a day on Saturday and Sunday off.

## Why it works
- **Practice beats re-reading** as the exam gets closer.
- **Timed essays** so the real clock is no surprise.
- **A day off** stops you burning out before the end.

## Make it yours
- In the last two weeks, add a full mock under exam conditions.
- Following a commercial bar course? Put its schedule in first, then fit this around it.
