192: Advantages of Slow Burn Bar Prep - a podcast by Bar Exam Toolbox

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Typically, students graduate from law school and prepare for the bar exam in a focused way over 8-10 weeks. This is a very intense style of preparation and doesn't work for everyone. In today's episode, we're sharing some practical tips for people who decide to study over a longer time period.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Downsides to the traditional bar prep approach of studying over 8-10 weeks
• Practical tips for people studying for more time
• Starting to prepare for the bar in law school
• What are good things to start doing early?
• Potential pitfalls to the slow burn study approach
