This is great advice, and from someone who in fact gives and grades law school exams.
Especially for the 1Ls out there, preparing for their 1st set of law school exams, I wrote this post back in 2007 about how to get a good grade on a law school issue spotter. The post, "Bad Answers, Good Answers, and Terrific Answers," is available here:

Asking my 9YO some Civil Procedure review questions.
Her answers were pretty good (not accurate; just funny) until we got to “what is offensive non-mutual collateral estoppel.”
