Bar Exam Week has Arrived: Don’t make this Mistake on your Essays

Hi everyone, Dustin here from IPassedMyBarExams.com and author of number one Amazon bestseller The Seven Steps to Bar Exam Success. And a question that recently came across my desk was this: during the Bar Exam week I have three essays.

Should I go through the essays in order that they’re presented to me or should I go look at all three essays and either start with one that will take the most time or maybe one that’s the easiest, and then go to the other two essays?

So, my general tip is this: go with what you feel, go with what God tells you to do it, don’t go out of fear like reacting out of fear, but if you feel like “let’s do this essay first”, then go with that option, generally speaking I recommend that you just go in the order that they’re presented. Start with the first one, go to the second one, go to the third one.

And there’s a couple of reasons for that. One is if you just look at all three essays and then you pick which one to go to, two things are going to happen. One is that you’re going to lose a little bit of time, and time is very crucial on essays, second is you might start second guessing yourself, you might start on the second essay , then you don’t know, I can’t figure this out, let me struggle out with the first essay.

So you could be that back and forth and that goes on as well and the third is you won’t be present with the essay that you’re on. You might be thinking about those other two essays that you looked at and it will give you some mind freak, you might freak out just thinking about it. So you won’t be present, you won’t be focused on the essay that you’re working on right then and there.

So, what I recommend is you just open the first essay, whatever it is you go out there and you do it and you spend about the amount of time on it, for many jurisdictions is about an hour, so you spend an hour on it. Well, after that hour is over you go to the next one, you spend an hour on it and when the next one is over, you spend an hour on it.

I wouldn’t go with the mindset and say like: Oh, this is going to take longer, let me go and spend an hour and 15 or an hour and 20 and give yourself less time for the other ones. Rarely, if ever, there was certainly never in my case that I could finish an essay, even if it was a simple easy basic essay which don’t really exist on the Bar Exam, there’s no real simple easy basic essays, but even if they were they always would take me an hour to complete regardless. And if I finished before an hour it’s usually because I missed issues and I didn’t, you know, get everything correct in the essay.

So, my advice again is just go essay by essay, one, two, three, focus on the one you’re on, spend an hour, move to the next ones, spend an hour, move to the next, spend an hour and then view for whatever needs some time on , after that you can go back and mix some or add some words here and there.

So that’s my tip for you not to go, you know, jumping around, just focus one at a time. So, that’s my tip for today.

Bar Exam Week Tip #2: Type my essay outline or write it on scratch paper

Hi everyone, Dustin here from IPassedMyBarExams.com and author of number one Amazon bestseller The Seven Steps to Bar Exam Success. And a question that I got the other day was: Should I write my outline actually into my computer during the Bar Exam on Essays or shall I write my outline on scratch paper?

So again I’ll write on scratch paper or actually in the computer? So, my suggestion is do whatever that works for you, do whatever you feel that works for you, and when you do that make sure you practice that, so if you like to handwrite things out and scribble and write things in the corner and move things here and just like point that or whatever, which is what I liked to do on my Bar Exam because I felt I could add more access, I could create a bigger picture there, that’s what I did and if you feel that works for you then go on and do that.

If you just like to kind of write the outline on the computer, type it up and then maybe build your essay from that, then go ahead and do that, too. But one danger that people told us about outlining on the computer was if after you have written out your outline your computer crashes for some reason, then you not only cannot type your essay, by the way, but you will also lose your outline, you’ll lose all that work.

So well that’s a realistic fear of something that, you know, happens very very very rarely, I don’t know, but practice both ways and do what you feel as most comfortable. For me I’m on the more big picture, I kind of write it all out and write it down on that scratch paper and I felt fine if I tried to do that on my computer.

But that’s just the way I practiced, the way I learnt, so whatever you want to do, try both ways during your prep, that’s all you have a couple of months to prepare, try both ways whatever works, go out there and do it.

So if that tip serves you, go ahead on the like button below and also head on over to IPassedMyBarExam.com/12Keys and get the free PDF download to get your 12 keys to Bar Exam Success. That will save time, save money, and reduce the stress during your Bar Prep. Until next time, I’ll see you in the next video and always remember that your name appears on the pass list.

What Clothes Should I Wear on Bar Exam Day

Hi everyone, Dustin here from IPassedMyBarExam.com helping you pass the Bar Exam with ease and confidence. And I know some of you are wondering what kind of clothes should you wear when you walk into the Bar Exam on Bar Exam day. You know: should it be your nice fit clothes, should it be your loose or relaxing clothes, should you dress up in a suit, what should you wear?

You know, if your jurisdiction doesn’t mandate something that you should wear and there’s one jurisdiction out there that does mandate that you wear actually a formal suit to the Bar Exam, my advice is to wear whatever it is that you want, wear whatever it is that’s comfortable for you.

In fact, if you’re wearing a certain type of clothing throughout the Bar Exam Prep, I recommend you just kind of wear that as you go to the Bar Exam Room. Using that association with the prep, so just walking there, like for me it was- I wore a hoodie and jeans and I basically wore that throughout almost my entire Bar prep and I just wore that during the Bar Exam Day as well.

So that’s what I recommend. You should know that also– that people that generally tend to dress up sometimes their performance can be better because how you dresses, how you feel, so if you’re one of those types that like to dress up because you feel better about yourself, you feel more dynamic, you feel like a lawyer walking in to the Bar Exam that : ‘hey, this is my day at office and this is what I’m going to do’, you know on a day to day, so you want to dress up, you feel better, you feel more dynamic, you may be sharper, that’s not a bad idea as well, so try that out but generally speaking I recommend that you wear that whatever you are wearing during Bar Prep.

Do make sure that you bring layer clothing and that also–make sure that the clothing you wear is comfortable. So, if you’re going to wear something nice and fancy, make sure you practice that a little bit during your Bar Prep so if you’re wearing, you know, a nice suit, you don’t want to get too tight and feel stiff in that suit, so when you walk in to the Bar Exam Day, if you had practice before you walk in there in the Bar Exam day and not know that’s going to happen that you feel stiff and tighten- it’s just another distraction that you’re going to have.

So, again my conclusion,without all the rumbling here, is to wear whatever you wore during Bar Prep, wear something that’s comfortable, bring layer clothing in case it’s cold or hot inside the Bar Exam Room and then also wear something that makes you feel dynamic, makes you feel energized that you can go in and crush it.

That’s my tip on what to wear during Bar Exam Week and you head on over right now to iPassedMyBarExam.com /12 Keys , number 1, number 2 keys , and get your free PDF, The 12 keys to Bar Exam Success, it’s a free PDF download, go ahead over there now and get it now.

The Bar Exam Guide: The Best Place for Your Bar Prep Tips

Hey everyone! Dustin here from IPassedMyBarExam.com and author of the #1 Amazon bestseller The 7 Steps To Bar Exam Success. And today I want to share something special with you that I received after I graduated from law school. It was actually one of those gag awards that maybe sometimes schools give and whatnot after they graduate.

But anyway I got the Most Likely To Write A Memoir About Their Experience As A Law Student or Attorney Award. That’s the award I won from the student bar association at my school. And I’ll tell you what, technically was actually way off. I haven’t written about my experiences as a law student or as an attorney. However, I did share my experiences about the bar exam.

After I took the bar exam, there’s a lot that I learned through that process and I had a lot of my friends asking me questions about the bar, a lot of little things like “how much time should I spend? Which bar prep program should I take? How should I approach the materials? How do I deal with the mindset of the bar exam?” What I decided to do was take all these questions and all my own experience and write them up.

I created a blog and then I also created a book called the 7 Steps to Bar Exam Success book. And it’s really just a practical guide of how to go through the bar exam. It’s not a replacement of a bar prep program. There’s no content stuff in here but it’s really a guide to go through the bar exam whether you have a bar prep program or you’re studying on your own. It really, really is helpful.

What I did is give a lot of practical tips about mindset, about how to approach the essays, how to approach the MBE. For those of you starting BarBri, how to actually go through BarBri, rather than doing their schedule that they give you, how to actually make that an effective way as you go through and I’ve been grateful because I get tons of emails all the time of how many people have enjoyed this book, how many people have liked this book.

I’m very grateful for all the 5-star reviews that it has on Amazon and it really have been a huge help and huge resource for people. It’s a short read. It’s like 2 hours to read this whole thing. It really just alters people’s mindset, whether you’re a first time or a repeater. A lot of repeaters have emailed me, said they got hope again. They have new found hope and they’re actually excited. Yes, they use the word ‘excited’ to take the bar exam. A lot of first time takers have read it as well and told me it was a huge help for them as well.

I want to invite you to go and grab your copy of this book. It’s called the 7 Steps To Bar Exam Success. I have it on my website. You can head over to IPassedMyBarExam.com/book, b-o-o-k, and get it there. I hope you’ll do this. I hope you’ll spend a couple of bucks really to really change your paradigm and really help you on the bar exam.

I know for sure it’s going to be a huge help regardless of your jurisdiction. I took California but this is a guide book that’s helped people in all the types of jurisdiction. So head on over to IPassedMyBarExam.com/book and go ahead and grab yourself a copy. Until next time, always remember that your name appears on the pass list.

“It’s go time” – Seinfield <– Click to tweet this

You can listen in the player below or download directly to your computer.

Greetings bar exam takers and future bar exam passers, my name is Dustin Saiidi from ipassedmybarexam.com and today I want to give you 12 tips to help you with the bar exam week. I know I have a different podcast on the bar exam week, here is an updated one that I thought I would share with you as the bar exam week is this week so it is go time now.

Tip number 1. Everybody just calm down. Yes let us just calm down. I have been looking at Twitter and online I see a lot of people all riled up about this thing. Let us just take a deep breath in through the nose, push out the belly and breathe out the mouth and slow down the breath. As you slow down the breath your body will become more calm and become more relaxed as I explain to my bar exam body podcast by slowing down the breath you can calm down the body and your mind cannot be both anxious and calm at the same okay, so just focus on being calm, focus on slowing down the breathe, taking deep breaths in, whenever you get stressed and just let it go. Let us not over hype this thing just keeping calm will help you focus, will help you be composed and will help you do better, okay. So that is tip number one just calm down.

Number 2. Laugh it off. Meaning whenever you see something stressful this next week just starts laughing. If you get scared or anxious just start laughing, when you think about going into the bar exam room or something triggers you, just start laughing. If you see other people who are stressed and anxious and whatever, just start laughing again you do not have to laugh at them, you do not have to laugh out loud necessarily, but just laugh to yourself. Just observe and laugh and do not try to make some big meaning out of it, just laugh.

They say laughter is the best medicine and the more you laugh this next week, the more 2:31 you are going to create in your body the happier you are going to be and the better you going to do. So when you see things good, small, bad, right, wrong whatever rather than assessing a meaning to it or making a judgment about it just laugh. Also if you can laugh at the bar exam you are going to take it down off this high horse, this big pedestal that it is on and just laugh at it, you bring it all the way down and you will realize oh well this is just another exam I have taken a million of these before in my life and I am just going to laugh at you, bar exam. Alright, so calm down and laugh at everything.

Number 3. Try and make it a game. Remember when you were a kid and you used to play detective or you know you used to be like a problem solver for whatever purpose just try and make it a game almost like when you are going into the bar exam and you are given this task, this assignment and you have to decipher the code and you have to pick the right answers on the MBE or write the right essay answers and decipher what the issues are just make it like a fun game for you, that is going to make it more fun and it is going to take less out of this serious zone or mindset or be like oh my god this thing is so serious, just make it a fun game.

We do better when we are playing games anyway and more fun for us, so go to your inner childhood and have some fun with it, you do not have to tell anybody just go have fun with it and enjoy yourself. Life is just an experience anyway just go make it fun. This is just one experience in the many you have had in your life and will continue to have in your life.

Tip number 4. Make stuff up. 4:19 What do I mean? well, if you do not our rule and you do not know an issue or something on the bar exam which is bound to happen, it happens to everybody just make things up, you read enough rules by now where you could easily be a judge and you could easily make up rules, so if you do not know something make a rule up apply some facts to it and you are going to get partial credit for doing so.

I am going to share a quick story on this, when I was doing my essays during my bar exam prep if I finish an essay in about 60 minutes I usual hit pretty much all the main issues and 4:57 facts. Basically I feel I would have passed the essay if I spent 60 minutes on it in full. Now if I did not I finish earlier that usually meant that I miss some big issue or was not doing something right with that essay, that all happen during my preps and I was doing pretty well in my prep, I was pretty much spending about an hour almost on the essays getting all the issues I was doing pretty well. So when it came to bar exam day one we had three essays, first was a contracts one which I really feel I did well on because I knew my contracts at the time.

Second essay I did not remember what it was, but I spent only 35 minutes on it and I was done and this was a immediate red flag for me, because if I was not spending 60 minutes I would have missed a key issue and I spent only 35 minutes and I went back and looked at the essay, looked around and I could not figure out what I was missing or what I had not put there, so I said okay let me just go to the third essay and it would come back, so I went to the third essay did that same thing it took me only about 30 to 35 minutes huge red flag for me so what did I do, well I was not totally sure what to do but I had encountered situation like these during my bar exam prep so, all I did was go back find some facts that I had not used, thought up some vague rules that I thought might apply and I just started putting those in there as well.

Maybe I would hit some more issues and get some more points without really knowing it. But as you can imagine I was during well on my prep and all of a sudden two of my first three essays I am finishing early like a lot early that was a very, very troublesome but I handled it, I handled it well and I just went back and made some stuff up and saw how it went. Now here is the funny on my second day of essays we had three more the same thing happened, two of my essays I finished really, really early and one of those essays was a government takings, this is the February 2010 California bar is the government takings essay question, I may be looked at that once during my bar prep right at the beginning not at all studied it an entire essay was on this thing so I had some pretty much make up the entire essay I made up a four rule task apply a bunch of facts to it use what I could that I knew from law school and my bar study and just apply to it and I ended up passing.

This is especially going to be the key in some of the jurisdictions, I know California they will always throw something in there that will try and test you try and mess you up. The reason for it is: they are trying to test your composure, as a lawyer you are going to have your composure tested all the time whether you are in that position or in front of in front of a judge. There are going to be things that come up that you have not prepared for, that you may think that would not come up and it is all how you handle yourself in that moment, so I think one of the reason they do this is to test your ability to handle yourself and be composed.

You do not have to know all the rules to pass the exam the graders know when you are a lawyer you are going to look up the rules anyway. There are just trying to see how you handle yourself in the moment under pressure, can you do it, okay just make things up again I shared my story 4 of my 6 essays I finish earlier than normal, not because I was super genius or to got it all right I was definitely missing stuff but I was able to pass so minimum competency number is all you need 65 make something up and go for it. Oh I remember with that if you do not know it nobody knows it, you studied pretty much probably as everybody else if you do not know it, nobody knows it everybody is in the same boat, you just cannot see that because you are in the middle of your exam, but everybody is in the same boat.

Tip number 5. I said this a million times eat good food, make sure you do not have heavy carbs and a combination of meat at lunch, like do not have a huge hamburger with a bunch of fries at lunch because it is going to make you sleepy in the afternoon session, so have some chickens, have some vegetables, have a lot of good snacks like some cheerio mix or green Obars no big heavy foods or heavy soups or anything like that especially for lunch because that will make you go to sleep. The MBE in the afternoon and the performance test in afternoon are long enough already so you do not want that any worse by having a huge meal.

Tip number 6. Sleep well the night before and watch your favorite motive the night before the bar exam. For me I watched gladiators that is my favorite movie and it is just an epic movie. You know if a guy can go starving make it through dessert starving, taking on 20 other gladiators at once fight gladiators and tigers and lead people all the way back to take control of an entire nation and If he can do that certainly I can spend three days in a bar exam taking a stupid test.

So get nice and comfortable put on your favorite movie whatever that maybe or it could be an inspiring movie maybe like legally blond, yes I watched legally blond during my first year at law school it helped me get through my first year at law school. So put on something epic this is going to get you in the zone you will have nice dream of you overcoming and conquering the bar exam.

Tip number 7. Keep it all in perspective. Yes the bar exam is important but you know what the bottom line is in a hundred years from now everybody who is listening to this probably is going to be dead. A hundred years from now from the time you listen to this you are probably going to be dead and so are the rest of us. As you planned and living to a 123 years old they are not going to be around. So you know what this is important but in the grand scale it is not that big of a thing. This is just one of the many moments that are going to happen in your life.

That recent tragedy that happen in Colorado during batman movie it was very unfortunate that should really gave you some perspective, at least we have our life, and at least we have our health and our vitality. Many parts of the world they wake up wondering if they are going to eat that or if they are going to survive that day. You fortunately do not have to worry about that your troubles are just for the bar exams. so really just keep things into perspective, you are already one of the top point 0.1% of the entire world the fact that you are even in this position to be able to take the bar exam, so just be appreciate and honor that and keep this thing into perspective.

That leads me into tip number 8. Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen. What is the worst thing that can happen and is it worth getting all stressed and anxious and riled up over. The worst thing that will happen is that you failed the bar exam okay got it fine, so have thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people who have failed it as well, so what that is really the worst that can happen, you are not going to lose your life, you are not going to lose your health, nobody is going to die 12:21 to take these fears and exaggerate them and make them grow very, very big but you know what just write that down okay this is worst list t that can happen that will clear your mind and you can proceed forward focusing on doing, focusing on success.

Tip number 9. Do not over hype the bar. Yes this thing is planted in your mind since day one, the big scary Mount Everest bar exam, you know what bring it back down, bring it back down to earth, this is an exam that many have passed and you are very, very capable of passing, it is very, very doable. It is just a combination of all the stuff you learned in law school but it still at the end of the day just an exam. You are not going to be tested on every single subject, you may have studied it which is good, but you are not even going to be tested on every single subject.

The bar exam graders they want you to do well, they want you to pass, it keep the profession running and moving forward bringing in new energy, new blood. So do not over hype this thing, do not let the media likes to over hype things or over exaggerate things, do not allow people discussions and thoughts about the bar make it so big, make it so huge, bring it back down this is a test that you can do, you have done many of these test in the past, you made it to this point, you graduated from law school for goodness sake, you can do this okay, so do not over hype the bar bring it back down to earth.

Tip number 10. Make sure you keep on going during the bar exam. This is somewhat bewildering to me, but some people does spend months and months preparing for the bar exam then comes the bar exam day they maybe feel they do well on day one or on day two and then they stop they do not show up the next day. That is the worst thing that you can probably do is to not show up anymore, I mean you spent all this time putting in all this effort and you are not showing up because you think that you did not do well enough to pass, but it is not even a reality and people have done this and a lot of them found out that they actually had passing scores on day one, they just did not continue going because they got scared.

We ask what was the worst thing that can happen; the worst thing that can happen is that you failed. So if you stop showing up, if you do not show up to the test on the next day guess what you are going to fail so you are just creating the worse that is going to happen. So you put in the time just give yourself the opportunity and the chance to all the days of the bar and do the best you can.

Nobody walks out there feeling like they nailed it, they were prefect, they feel awesome, nobody feels that way. I described the way I handled the essays on my first day, there were two of them where I almost thought I did not pass because I finish way too early and was certain I miss major issues, and that did not really happen during or towards the end of my bar exam prep, I felt that I was on my game and then that happen during the bar exam you can imagine what was going on in my mind. So just show up give each portion you all, be present with each portion and keep moving hopefully and probably you will be surprise by the results come bar exam results day. Give yourself the chance, you deserved it and you have earned it.

Tip number 11. Do not compare your answers with others. Don’t do it. Once that portion of the exam is done, it is done you are not going to go back, you are not going to look at it, you cannot change anything, do not talk to other what they got, what issues they got blah, blah, blah. My roommate in law school when he took the bar he was sitting next to a guy who after one of the portions of the exam started asking him questions like oh yea did you get this issue, did you get this?

Whatever issue I do not know what the specific issues were just started asking him oh yea did you get this yea I got this, you know he was that guy that probably was not going to pass, probably did not feel he did that well so what does he do, he was trying to make people around him feel anxious, to make people around him riled up to make himself feel better, he is the one says oh yea that was so easy I got this, I got that, I got this, I got that and the main issues that you may not have talked about and may not have thought were relevant but because it is in your space now, because you heard it, you might start you might start questioning oh yea was I suppose to do that, was I suppose to talk about that blah, blah, blah.

So if you hear someone talking about that, first laugh you remember tip number 2 laugh, and then run get away from that person, you do not need that person in your life at this time. Bar exam you can meet a lot of people if you want, you can meet a lot of friend, but it is not really the time to make friends you are here to focus on your exam and do your thing.

Last tip number 12. Trust that the material you studied will come back to you. It is just like..if you played any kind of like sporting game and you know you have the championship the play offs and you got nervous before the game but once you are in it everything you have put up to that point comes back to you all your preparation comes back to you believe it or not.

I think that is a reward you get essentially from the universe or the way you have been training with your mind. That is a reward you get if you put in the time and the effort it comes back to you during bar exam time. So I know you may be thinking you are nervous okay do I have the tack sheet for all these subjects, a lot of that most of that will come back to you when you see it on the bar exam. Trust in your preparation, trust you had done what it takes to get you here and just be calm and go know this bad boy out.

Alright so those are my twelve tips:

Number 1 is calm down
Number 2 is laugh at everything this next week
Number 3 is make it a game you are now the detective
Number 4 is make stuff up and if you do not know it nobody knows it
Number 5 is eat good food
Number 6 is watching epic movies the night before
Number 7 is keep things in perspective you are still in the top 0.1% of the entire world just being in the situation that you are
Number 8 ask yourself and write it down, what is the worst thing that can happen
Number 9 Do not over hype the bar, bring it down to earth
Number 10 is no matter what, you keep on going
Number 11 is do not compare answers with others
Number 12 trust in your preparation, trust it will come back to you

Good luck this week go get ’em, go know go know ’em down and we will see you on the other side of the bar exam. Hopefully this is the last bar exam podcast you have to listen to and remember your name appears on the pass list. Take care and have a wonderful bar exam.

Bar Exam Week Podcast (Episode 002)

The Bar Exam week has arrived! Listen to the podcast giving you a bar exam pep talk with some tips and suggestions for bar exam week.

This episode we are going to be talking about bar exam week and give you a little pep talk of what you can do this week. So most of you are taking your bar exam this week and I know what it is like, I have been there. Some of you might be flustered and cramming, some of you are probably very calm and relaxed, some of you are between those two emotions and all of that is perfectly okay do not feel one way is right one way is not right, I should have be this, I should be this, all of it is normal and it is okay.

And whatever you are feeling know this, sometimes we as human beings feel we are not deserving or not worthy of something, know that you are deserving and worthy of passing this bar exam, that you have put in the time, you put in the effort you paid your dues, the last one or two months studying, the last three to four years of law school, you have put in the time and you are ready now and you deserve to pass this bar exam.

So think for a second that you do not, do not even worry about passing or not passing just focus on the work you have been doing and go in there and taking the questions, answering the questions, know and put in the back of your mind that these bar exam graders that are grading your exams do in fact want you to pass. They were in the same shoes that you’ are in right now, they know what it is like and they actually do want you to past that is their desire, that other people in the room want you to pass, that your family, your friend, you relatives, people want you to do well, they want you to pass this exam, you are deserving and you are worthy, it is just a matter of going out and executing.

To be honest you already have come over the hill by putting in all this time and effort to prepare, now it is just time to go out there to relax do your best and execute, that is it. That being said make sure you put yourself in a good state of emotions, listen to some nice relaxing music the night before and on the drive or the walk over to the bar exam room. The night before watch one of your favorite movies, watch an inspirational movie, something that will take your mind off the bar and really just kind of motivate you and help you relax.

Eat good food the next few days, have a good hearty breakfast, make sure your lunches are good but not too thick, I have a lot of food tips on the website that you can check out. So believe in yourself you have already put in the work, the time, the effort, you have already pass this exam it is just a matter of going out and having it occur in reality and that is it.

When you come home after day one and day two, do not worry about how you did or what you might have missed or you did not got tight, do not worry about what other people are saying. Often time I have found it is the people who talked about the exam and almost brag about all the issues that they receive; those are the ones that should not be listened to.

So if you hear someone talking about these issues and everything else that they found do not worry about that, you found what you found, you wrote what you wrote put it in the past and move on to the next day. Also make sure for those of you who are taking the three days bar exam make sure you are ready for day three because statistically scores on day three tends to be a little bit lower than the score on day one and day two, that is because people get tired and what not.

So you put in way too much time and effort to get tired on day three and let your scores slip, so make sure you get a really good night rest on day two, eat some power bars and Omen whatever you need to on day three to make sure your energy is fresh and you are ready to go and to really to close out that bar exam on day three and also no matter what happens do not, do not, do not, do not give up, do not give up on essays, do not give up on questions, do not say I cannot do this, I do not know this forget about it because the most important thing to remember is that if you do not know something on the exam, nobody know whatever the X being asked on the exam, just give it your best shot, make something up, a lot of times it is not as bad as it looks.

I saw plenty of things I had no idea, there was an entire essay on a topic I had not even studied for, but I know if I did not study for it nobody had studied for it and that is just how it goes so do not worry about it, just write something, make something up, make some fact, make lot of excuse me, throw in some facts make it look pretty, throw in some headings and baba boob baba bing you got yourself an answer that is going to get you some amount of points. Lastly I also recommend you stop studying at least Monday afternoon, if you want to get some attack sheet saying on Monday morning that is fine, but Monday afternoon I recommend you just stop, you want to make sure your energy is peaking during bar exam days not before and not after. So do what you need to do to manage your energy that’s very important and again I recommend you stop on the days of each bar exam.

For me what I did when I came home sometimes I did do some additional studying, it wasn’t anything intense but I did do some reviewing presumably after the essays on day one I went and reviewed some multiple choice questions after I got home just to get my mind in that zone to be ready to take multiple choice questions the next day. After day two when I got home I did some essays on some of the topic I have not even covered yet just again to get my mind in the zone so, if you want to do that go for it if you feel comfortable either way just make sure you are not doing too much or you will be maxing out your energy. You want your energy to peak on bar exam days.

Ok I have rambled for at least a good 5 or 6 minutes now so I am going to stop talking and let you guys finish up the last minute studying and good luck this week, you can do it, believe in yourself, you got this, this is your time go in there smile, happy, confident and go knock this baby down. Alright good luck on your bar exam. In time you too will see this name appears on the pass list.
