Business, Real Estate, and Civil Law are heavy hitters, but don’t neglect Professional Responsibility! Past candidates note that questions can span all areas unpredictably. Balance your study time equally across all topics, and when you complete reviewing the materials, focus on the areas you feel less confident in. Use our practice exams as you review the materials to test your knowledge across all subjects.
The LSO materials are dense, but the index is your best friend. Failing to use efficiently it slows you down. Practice navigating to specific sections (e.g., Criminal Code provisions) in a few seconds. Create tabs to help you navigate the index as well. Our printing service can create a tabbed, indexed binder to streamline your exam-day searches.
With only 4 hours for 160 questions, lingering on tough questions is a trap. Aim for 1-2 minutes per question and skip anything taking longer. Return to skipped questions later. Practice this strategy with our timed mock exams to build speed and confidence. And don't forget, use a timing sheet to keep you on track!
Reading materials isn’t enough—you need to apply knowledge under exam conditions. Practice exams reveal question patterns (e.g., scenario-based Professional Responsibility questions) and boost stamina. Start with one practice exam weekly this month. Our realistic practice exams come with answer explanations to sharpen your skills.
Exam prep can feel like a marathon, but don’t let stress dim your spark. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a 10-minute walk, call a friend, or jot down three things you’re grateful for. You’ve tackled law school— this is just the final lap. Check out our stress-relief checklist for more tips to stay calm and focused.
Avoiding these mistakes puts you on the path to success. You’re not just preparing for an exam—you’re building the skills to become an incredible lawyer. Our practice exams and printing services are designed to make your prep easier and more effective. Ready to take the next step?
