Who it's for
Is coaching right for you?
It's a good fit if …
- You're a 1L heading into your first law school finals.
- You know the material in class, but your exam answers don't show it.
- You run out of time or freeze on issue-spotting questions.
- Your first-semester grades weren't what you wanted, and you're ready for a new approach.
- You're taking Family Law or Criminal Procedure and want a sharper exam strategy.
- You lead an SBA, BLSA, or other student organization and want something for members at exam time.
What to expect
No mystery. Here's how coaching works.
Have these ready for your first session
- Your syllabus
- Class notes
- Your outline, even a rough one
- Any practice or past exams your professor has released
- Your questions
A session might include
- Checking where you are in the course
- Working through a hypothetical
- Tightening your rule statements
- Structuring the answer
- Deciding what to practice next
Between sessions
Practice what you worked on and bring new questions.
Coaching sharpens your preparation. The work and the results are yours. No honest coach can guarantee a grade.
Coaching builds your own skills; it isn't a substitute for your own work. Follow your school's honor code on graded assignments and take-home exams.
The best time to start is before you feel behind.
Fall finals usually run from late November into December, and spring finals from late April into May. Starting a few weeks early leaves time to practice, but it's never too late to sharpen your approach.
- Early onOutline as you go, and learn how your professor tests.
- MidtermsIf your course has one: your first timed practice. Find your weak spots.
- 4–6 weeks outPractice exams, rule statements, and an attack outline.
- Final two weeksFull timed exams, pacing, and final review.
- Exam dayA plan for every question.
Exam-week checklist
- Shrink your outline to a one- or two-page checklist.
- Take at least one full practice exam under timed conditions.
- Know your exam's rules: open or closed book, software, word limits, allowed materials.
- Practice writing rule statements from memory.
- Plan your time per question before exam day.
- Sleep, eat, and confirm where and when your exam is.
