Looking forward to the end of law school but bar exam expenses are looming?

save money during law school (but if you’re a 3L it’s too late for that)

move back in with parents (but will that help or hurt your studying?)

So if you’re out of the typical options when it comes to bar exam prep loans, let me give you practical tips you can apply right now to ease the stress.

Was failing the bar highly embarrassing?

You have supportive family and friends who tell you it's not a big deal...

Yet you are really afraid of not passing again.

You may be confused as to why you failed. You went down the list of things you should and shouldn't do and yes you kept all the "rules" of bar study.

Studying may hurting your chances on the bar exam.

If you are four weeks or less away from your bar exam date then you shouldn’t be studying.

Do this instead.

Bar takers less than a month from their exam date should be collecting optimization data.

Top 5 things you need to know to pass the Bar Exam

You already have the coursework, the sample tests and the study guides. But what you don’t know could be hurting your chances of passing the Bar. Here are five non-negotiable factors you need to know that could make all the difference between passing and failing.

Whatever your past experience with the Bar Exam, a well-laid out, easy-to-follow plan is the easiest way to get motivated and back on track to pass the Bar.

We need to work smarter, not harder.

You’ll find it easier to strike a balance between Bar study and life as usual—a crucial need if you’re a non-traditional student or law grad.

Life is demarcated by pre-Bar Exam and post- Bar Exam.

It seems nothing can move on until you get this done.

If you’re studying for the Bar, this last Monday of the year doesn’t really mean much.

Never mind actual life situations that are getting in the way of proper studying.

There’s a specific way to incrementally meet your goal while living your best life.

The magical solution is breaking down your huge tasks like Pass the Bar or complete Character & Fitness, into tiny tasks.

To pass the Bar:

How do you achieve your personal dream while living a great life? Focus and persistence.

Often Bar Exam takers won’t acknowledge that life can go on despite failing the Bar because it feels like they’re giving up on their attorney dreams. Wrong.

Living a great life while working towards your goals means you have to be more disciplined.

Just because it doesn’t feel imperative that you pass “yesterday” doesn’t mean you’ve given up.

It seems like everything is smooth sailing until you decide to do something different, something daring. Then sh#t hits the fan. I won't lie to you, it happens to me too.
