Officially started

So, after bombing some Contracts MCs, I finally got an 80% on my last round of questions! Hooray for me!

Since I actually started studying on my own in December and covered Contracts at that time, I think I'll move onto another topic and come back to Contracts as it gets nearer to the exam day. I've always struggled with Contracts questions, so I'll probably need another look at it.

The question then is: What do I do now? Maybe I'll move onto Biz Org. Or maybe I should hit the other tough area for me-- Wills and Trusts. I pretty much ignored that one last time and that came back to bite me.

That settles it-- Wills and Trusts it is.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day

So, I'm starting all over again. I will be working towards taking the Arizona Bar Exam in July 2011. Yes, there is lots of time and, yes, it's been a long time since I graduated from law school. I'm motivated and in a different frame of mind, so hopefully that will make a difference this time.

I just registered on baroutlines.com for their Arizona program. After a quick look at how it all works, I think this is a good option for me. I will download the lectures and listen to them during my commute (so long as it doesn't put me to sleep!). Since it's online, I can study anywhere I have internet access. There is also the option to download materials.

I also bought their MBE workbook (which is for the multiple choice portion of the exam). It includes three full exams and tips for the multiple choice. I did pass that portion of the exam in California in 2006, so I'm not too terribly worried.

This is going to be a lot of work! But I have seven months to do it. I think I'll be able to make it!
