Here are some tips on how to best prepare for exam day.   <\/p>\n<p>After having completed three years of law school at the University of Connecticut, I felt I got better understanding as I went along but it would have been helpful to know what I know now at the start of my first year.  <\/p>\n<p>Here is my advice to help you get off to a good start.

If you try to expand your perspective beyond just memorizing the case law, your exam answer will have that extra insight that will make your exam stand out and earn you a better grade.
