Exam anxiety is tackled by a helpful, positive perspective: the right amount of stress can serve as a motivator. Students get help in reducing anxiety to a productive level by learning how to place exams into proper perspective. Stress-management techniques are introduced, including, stretching, meditation, and listening to motivational music.The Second Edition introduces new sample flow charts into the presentation, and additional examples, questions, and sample answers appear throughout the text.Hallmark features of Law School Exams: Preparing and Writing to Win:--accessible, reassuring styleo points are clear and concise for students under severe time constraints--creative examples and illustrations from familiar, nonlegal contextso introduces students to new concepts by analogyo then advances to more complex legal examples--exercises and practice exams organize student's efforto identify strengths and weaknesseso focus on essay questions and model answerso help plan strategies--addresses techniques for maximizing scoreso several types of essay questionso multiple-choice and other objective questions--tackles exam anxietyo helps students understand that a small degree of anxiety can motivateo shows how to reduce anxiety to a productive level--place exams into proper perspective--prepare thoroughly--adopt stress-management techniques: stretching, meditation, motivational music
