Do not forget that the bar exam is all about proving to the bar examiners that you are worthy of being granted admission to their profession.
When is the best time to sit for the bar exam? For most people the answer is the same: immediately after graduating from law school.
In my opinion, law students waste too much time and energy worrying about their state’s bar passage rates.
Your state’s overall pass average for a particular exam is not the biggest predictor of individual success.
Should I take bar exam subjects while in law school? This is a question that most law students struggle with as they choose their elective courses.
When you first applied to law schools and sat down to budget your funds for tuition, books, etc., you may not have realized that after leveraging yourself to the hilt, you were going to need to cough up even more money after graduation for something called the bar exam. Don’t feel bad. Most students fail to account for how they will pay for their bar exam expenses.
While I always advise students not to work while studying for the bar exam, I realize that some students simply do not have that luxury in today’s economy. Therefore, I have devised a more nuanced answer to that question.
First-time test-takers do not have the luxury of hindsight. Therefore, I will share with you the top ten things that previous test-takers wished that they had known when they began the process of preparing for the bar exam.
