So with 100 days until the bar exam I think this is a good time to kick into effect my study plan… I am going to start with a sit down and outline of all 32 PMBR audio lecture CDs. These CDs cover all 6 MBE subjects. I am going to do them in alphabetical order, so:
Constitutional Law
Contracts
Criminal Law/Pro
Evidence
Property
Torts
After this, I’m going to hammer through all of the PMBR Earlybird questions (~50 questions per subject, so ~300 questions total). I think this should be sufficient to get my legal juices flowing, so to speak… I also plan to listen to the PMBR lectures randomly in my car anytime I am in my car (8-10 hours a week), and also anytime I am at the gym (4-5 hours a week)…
I’ll report back when I’ve finished listening to all the CDs and gotten all the earlybird questions done and reviewed… I hope to have this done by the end of the month, so that will be about 3 months until the bar exam, which is when I hope to have my study schedule 100% finalized.

Your blog is very interesting. I, too, am taking the bar exam (Missouri), but am not practicing. I graduated 2 years ago, and am trying to begin my studying a bit earlier then the BarBri course (I signed up to take this). I am working full-time and a bit worried that I won’t be able to get through all of the material (ie, the recommended amount multiple choice questions). How many hours after work are you planning to study between now and the exam?
Thanks for the blog!
I am doing 100% self-study, as I don’t feel I have the time to attend barbri lectures… But, anyway, I am planning to study at least 3 hours per evening, Monday-Friday. I think it’s a good idea to start studying as early as possible, no need to wait for your barbri course to start. Weekends are basically going to consist of study marathons, I would ideally like to do 10 hours of study every Saturday and Sunday between now and the bar exam to makeup for only studying 3 hours during the weekdays, but I don’t know how realistic this is… I plan to listen to the PMBR CDs non-stop till the bar exam while I am at the gym and on my commute to/from work as well…
