I did my first full length practice exam yesterday (Schweser exam 1). I got 70% on the morning and 83.3% on the afternoon. What I found is that I missed a lot of questions I should have gotten simply because I was tired of reading through the long cases. By the end of both sessions I was really having trouble concentrating. I guess its tough b/c I’ve been studying in 40 minutes on, 10 minutes off for a while and sitting down for 6 hours in one day is tough. I’ve also been doing the regular multiple choice questions like the end of chapter ones and am not used to the level 2 format. I didn’t have this problem with level 1 b/c the questions were right to the point. Does anyone have any tips about how to stay focused during the whole exam?
With those scores I wouldn’t worry to much. You’re a lock. T/G
*steals Bradleyz scores* their mine, all mine! Bwahahahha…(I need a good score like that

Adrenalin on exam day will take care of the fatique.

Drugs, of course. Caffeine is the traditional drug but amphetamines and Ritalin are really significantly better. Experimenting with them during the exam is probably a bad idea because if you attack the guy next to you in a speed-fueled rage your studying will go to waste.
ritalin would be great just about now…everybody would pass if it was OTC
Stick a pin in one of your buttock…but during exams remember to sit on the other one…when ever you feel your brain suffering from fatigue put a little weight on your pinned buttock…the sharp pain will release lots adranlin among other chemicals that should bring you brain back into focus… If you still need motivation…try a pin in each buttock…its should keep you motivated throughout the exam…
Honestly… 5mg of adderrol in the morning and 5 before the second session. Take it as they are handing out the exams so you will get a pick me up 15-20 minutes later. Good breakfast and lunch are critical. Get some ‘1 a day’ energy for the caffeine and some glucose tablets when you think your toasted. For L1 I was so close to quitting like 2 hours into each session because i was so fried and once i got a tough question i just wanted to give, but i didnt and i passed so i felt that exam day nutrition is like 25% of the battle
