Did you hear?
California Bar Exam Takers were devastated by the poorest Bar Exam results ever in recent years. An article in a popular online law journal was published in response.
The article discussed what to do if youâve failed the Bar. As one of these main points, the Bar Prep provider/guest blogger/author wrote, âmake sure that you pass next timeâ. He explained that no one will care how many times youâve taken the Bar once youâre an attorney. He added that passing the Bar will erase all the past hurt, shame, anger, and regret of past Bar fails. This was his sole mindset tip.
Passing the Bar won't make bad habits and feelings go away. You need to take care of those first.
This is not good advice. After failing the Bar, residual feelings left are not dealt with and the pressure of âneeding to pass this timeâ is what causes multiple repeated fails. Those feelings and that pressure are the first things Bar Takers have to get past to make studying (for a second or more time) easier and even desirable.
There was one good point the author made though. He said hiring a coach or a mentor to see you through it. I can get behind that.
Would you like an easier way?
Repeating the Bar Exam doesnât have to feel like forcing yourself to touch an iron when you know itâs blazing hot. It doesnât have to be tortuously painful.
Taking the Bar even a 3 or 4th time can be light and free, and you can grow in the process. I know. I did it. And Iâve helped others do so as well. With Bar Exam Mentoring you can approach the Bar with, not just a calm heart, but also a certainty that you will pass (instead of the desperation that you have to.)
Look into Journey, a small group course.
On April 17, doors open for a Bar Exam Mentor course offering. A mindset support forum with modules and coaching sessions to support repeat Bar Exam takers as they approach the Bar.
In a few weeks, you could beâŠ
Approaching the Bar Exam with confidence
Feeling your heart quieted as you put your books away and rest before the test
Feeling your heart expanding in happiness as you take a seat at the testing table (no fear or dread!)
Observing your spirit soaring as you answer question after question with ease
Feeling completely at peace as you leave the testing hall
Creatively using your time in a fulfilling way (whether through work, with family or in play) as you wait for your Exam results
Swearing in and finally, confidently starting the career of your dreams, and
Knowing more of who you are and what youâre made of in the process.
How can I promise this? Iâve helped Bar takers, just like you, cut through the mental chatter, self-doubt, and anxiety associated with this Big Test. Mindset is hardly (if ever) addressed in Bar Review courses, yet itâs the top cause for up to 40% of failures across the U.S.
How do I know?
First of all, Bar Exam takers who go through my courses have a 100% success rate, to date, despite using various packaged Bar prep courses or study plans of their own.
I only do mindset.
So what was the one common denominator? Bar takers in my program addressed mindset.
Second, California conducted a study amongst Bar Takers, offering a âMindset Interventionâ course to some law grads and comparing their results to the rest of the Stateâs examinees.
You guessed it.
Those who worked on mindset scored better and had better pass rates than those who did not. Iâm certain if their âmindset interventionâ involved a trained and experienced coach as opposed to a few videos and a writing assignment, those students would have fared much closer to the 100% success rate that Bar Exam Mentor clients enjoy.
