This is an excellent review and I encourage you to move it to the proper category.

The category you have replaced this in asks:
"Should I Go to Grad School?

What factors should prospective grad school students consider before applying? When is going grad school straight out of college the right choice? Who should go to grad school, and who shouldn't? Discuss the pros and cons of going to grad school"

Thanks,
Lisa

you've got everything all locked up, here. While having a strategy and outlining your essays might be the essential for law school exams, it can't hurt to have the same plan for other exams, as well. At least you can organize your thoughts and perhaps even give a more appropriate answer to boot. Great advice and very well written review. Luck with the coming year.

I love reading your reviews. The advice you give us students is very inspiring. Take care of yourself.

And I would've written comments before, but I'm too lazy to ever do that. Now I'm trying to do so....

You bring back bad memories... (Reply to this comment)

...of the anxiety surrounding my Chartered Accountancy exams. 4 days, 4 exams, 4 hours each. There is much wisdom in your review. An outline is vitally important. Timing your answers is also vitally important to prevent overanswering a question.

In our study groups, they used to say "Pass the exam first, you can be a genius later". There was a tendency to write everything you knew about a topic, rather than what was relevant.
