Ontario bar exam study planner
Most study schedules are somebody else’s plan with your name on it. This one is arithmetic: the real page counts, two reading passes, and your own reading speed. Put in your exam date and it tells you when to start.
Both, same sitting: about 15 weeks
1,650 pages read twice is 3,300 pages. At 50 pages a day that is 66 days of reading, plus 14 days of practice questions and a final week kept light. 86 study days at 6 a week.
| Block | Days |
|---|---|
| First passRead everything once, slowly. Do not stop to master anything. You are building a map. | 40 |
| Second pass, with practiceFaster read, drilling each subject as you finish it. The most valuable block, and the one usually squeezed. | 40 |
| Final weekWeak areas, your index, sleep. No new material. | 6 |
Why 1,650 and not 1,960: the first fifteen chapters of Professional Responsibility and the appendices are identical across the two sets of materials. Read them once, early, and treat them as done for both papers. That is roughly 300 pages you do not read twice.
The reasoning behind these numbers is in how long you should study and a realistic study schedule. When the plan says to drill a subject, our subject quiz packs are built for that slot.
Page counts and reading rates are LexPD’s own figures, from preparing candidates for these examinations. They are not published by the Law Society of Ontario, and they are averages: yours will differ, which is why the planner asks for your rate rather than assuming ours. Always check current examination dates with the Law Society directly.
