Schedule about 14 days for each final review. This is not the time to learn new material, but to review the topics you have already learned. Browse through the entire textbook, making notes of key areas, mnemonics, formulas, charts, etc. (I used note cards and mind mapping for this). If you are using a final review product, such as Becker's, begin there and refer back to full textbook for more in-depth topic information & details.
While increased exposure promotes familiarity with material, memorization is required to be successful on the exams. During your final review, use your note cards every day, as often as possible. Each time you flip through a pack, remove the cards you have memorized and spend more time with those you don’t. Schedule and simulate at least 2 complete practice exams before your test date to build up stamina and endurance. Last 48 hours before your exam, MEMORIZE anything you don’t already know, manage stress and anxiety and see yourself being successful on that exam! Best of luck to you!
