Absolutely—goal is to take (ideally multiple) past exams under exam conditions (time pressure, silence, having to write out real answers in full sentences). But also, may be wise to save that exercise until student has done at least some synthesis/review.
I tell my students that learning to take my Torts exam is like learning a foreign language. Reading your outline is like reading a dictionary to learn to speak. Taking old exams under exam conditions is like conversing with a native speaker. It is obvious which is more effective.https://twitter.com/RachelGurvich/status/985194255927955456 …

I recommend using questions to construct your outline- focus on the process, not the product. First learn what is expected, next learn how to do it, then practice under exam conditions.

Fun fact: in a state civ pro class, we all went to the library to look through and take an old exam. That exam ended up being strikingly similar to the actual exam. It was....a very helpful exercise.
