554: How We're Thinking About NextGen Prep Differently (Plus, Try Our New Tool for Free!)

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today we're discussing how we're thinking about preparing for the NextGen bar exam differently -- and we're excited to introduce a new tool we've built to help you learn and retain the rules you need to know.

In this episode we discuss:

• An overview of the NextGen UBE
• The big misconception: No memorization is required for the NextGen
• Why traditional study methods fall short
• Introducing our new RAMP (Rule Acquisition and Mastery Platform) tool and how it works
• Our recommendation on who should start using RAMP now
