Put a timer on for 5 minutes

One of the most common problems law students have when writing essays and performance tests on the bar exam is that they run out of time. Even though they know in advance that each California bar exam essay is 1 hour, and each performance test is 3 hours, students still don’t manage their time effectively on the bar exam. Why? And how can they fix this?The answer is to practice your timing in advance with a timer app right on your computer screen. I will explain how I did this. My preference during my bar prep studying was to use the free desktop app called TimeLeft. The download requires no sign-up and simply lets you put a small digital clock window on your screen that always stays on top of your working document.Time your outline for 15 minutesThe first thing I do is to set my timer for 15 minutes. I then read and review the essay hypo, marking it up and creating my outline on scrap paper. For a complete breakdown of how I create my outline read my blog post, 8 Steps To Writing Passing Bar Exam Essays. But here is the trick. Some essays may only need a 10 minute outline while some will need a bit longer than 15 minutes (although I would never outline for longer than 20 minutes). Rather than try to predict how long to set my timer for each essay outline, I always go with 15 minutes as a default. If I use less than 15 minutes to outline, I immediately begin to write my essay even while the timer is still running for the first 15 minute interval. Once the timer is up, I then go to the next step.Time your writing for 45 minutesAfter I complete my outline, I set my timer for 45 minutes, even if I already started to write my essay during the prior 15 minute outline session. This way I never get mixed up on my timing so that I don’t spend more than 1 hour on each essay. And if while working on my outline I feel I need 2 or 3 more minutes after that 15 minute timer goes off, I immediately set my next 45 minute timer but I keep on completing my outline for those few extra minutes and then get right into writing the essay.Practice this in advance so that you get used to separating the two intervals. You may ask, why not just set the timer to 1 hour? Well, for me, I find it reinforces the importance of sticking to that first 15 minute period of reading and preparing my attack plan. Whether it’s a full outline or just
