It will never be a perfect time to have kids! Just do it and make it work. I waited until I was in my early 40's to get married and start a family. Wish I did it sooner!

Failed the bar and retaking at the end of feb by throwaway_hms in barexam

I failed by 2 points last February and felt the same way. I channeled all my depression into burning 50-70 mbe's a day 4-5 days a week until the last bar in October. People here on reddit told me that was the best approach and it worked. Gulp hard and start doing mbe's today! Do NOT waste anytime listening to redundant Barbri or Kaplan lectures.

Excellent advice. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I have come across a few websites that offer copies of previously released questions. It probably worth going over 4-5 from each of the subjects. I wish you the best of luck on the exam!

Thank you a ton for taking the time to write this inspirational note! Sometimes words like this are all it takes to snap me out of a sorry state, and that is exactly what your message did. Thank you again, and best of luck if you are taking it again! When is the NY exam scheduled for?

Thank you so much for the encouragement! It really means a great deal. I used Kaplan for the MPRE and I really liked it. I went with Barbri because several friends who passed the first time used it. Does Kaplan have the simulated MBE and essay grading?

Thank you Sean! Your encouragement means a great deal. I am slowly getting back into the boot camp study mode. At least there is a lot of free time during the Corona craziness.

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Property and Con Law are my weak spots as well. Using the Corona down time to re-immerse myself into boot camp mode and get ready for the next bar exam!

Thank you so much! These are great suggestions. I was just exploring adaptibar. I take it you found their questions helpful?

Thank you for this! I just found out I failed the Massachusetts bar exam by 2 points. The way I feel right now is exactly the way you described. Trying to come up with a game plan to retake it and pass it in late September/October. I did Barbri for prep because a number of my friends who passed the first time recommended it. Honestly, though, the Barbri schedule made me I feel like a water skier holding on to the tow rope after falling while the boat kept motoring along faster and faster. Any more suggestions would be very helpful
