017: How to Study for the Bar Exam if You're a Kinesthetic Learner

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast. Today we're talking about smart ways to study for the bar exam if you are a kinesthetic learner. While this may be the least likely learning style for law students and lawyers, this episode is chock full of great tips that anyone can use to mix things up!

In this episode, we discuss:

• What is a kinesthetic learner and how do you know if you are one?
• Why the typical bar study routine will likely not work for you – or be of very limited help – and why you don't have to do what everyone else is doing to pass the bar exam
• Actual techniques you can use to help study more effectively – even some that may sound a little strange!
• Why PRACTICE is perhaps even more important for kinesthetic learners – but also FEEDBACK
• Study breaks! How actually getting up and moving around can really benefit you if you're a kinesthetic learner
