015: How to Study for the Bar Exam if You're an Auditory Learner

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast. Today, we're talking about studying for the bar as an auditory learner, along with some techniques anyone can use, even if this is not your preferred learning style.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What is an auditory learner and how do you know if you are one?
• Specific study techniques for auditory learners like recording yourself reading your outline – really, it helps!
• Why even auditory learners should combine techniques from other learning styles to help them learn and memorize the material
• The most important bar study tool regardless of learning style – PRACTICE – and why it's even more important for auditory learners to practice writing timed essay questions
• What bar graders are looking for and why that can be so difficult for auditory learners to deliver
• Things to avoid while studying – for example, auditory distractions or "why Starbucks is probably NOT the best place for you to study"
