In one month....

As several of my friends studying for their various bars across the country have pointed out in their away messages this weekend, the bar is exactly a month away (from either yesterday or today depending on where you're taking it). That means a month from tomorrow will be the multistate. Scary stuff.

In this past month, I've settled into a rather tedious study routine. I get up, I go to class from 9 to around 12 or 1. I break for lunch. I come back and review or outline what I did that morning until 5 or so. I break for dinner. Then I go back and do at least 50 multiple choice questions a night. This takes anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half, then I spend the remaining amounts of my mental energy going over the problems. This repeats for days at a time, although some afternoons and evenings are less productive than others. Did I mention how much I hate going to the library now? Bar review has ruined the summer of '07.

I suppose I don't really need to change pace until after the 4th of July. By then my goal is to be done the red and most of the blue PMBR books. At 50/day, that shouldn't take too much longer. I think if you do 50/day, you can have 2000 done in 40 days. Counting the six-day PMBR, I reckon I'm over 1500 by now. That's even scarier.

The more frustrating thing is not knowing how many I should be getting right. Some days I get half, other times I'll get around 35/50 right. I have to hope that the real thing is at least similar or at little less nit-picky or otherwise I'm screwed.
