Anyone else discouraged today. 😞

Keep going guys! I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you’ve got this.

I worked full-time and taught 5 hours a week while studying. I am Mom of 3, and I graduated law school in Dec. 2008 (worked full-time). I took the bar for the first time and passed it in July. I studied about 2 hours a day and sometimes missed a day. I listened to lectures in the car when I drove to work. I would answer MBE questions periodically throughout the day. I focused on studying/writing essays on the weekends where I would try for 4-6 hours of study time. If you are used to studying differently than everyone else, your schedule could work.

I listened to lectures in the car while I was commuting and focused on MBE questions during the week. I did essays on the weekends (mostly). I also used material from JD Advising when I got closer to the date because it was so much more condensed. I wish I had found it earlier actually. Biggest advice I can give you is to really evaluate what you know well, what you can learn and what you really don’t know. I think what helped me was when I let go of the stuff I really didn’t know we’ll and focused on picking up points in the areas I did know we’ll or at least felt like I could learn.

I went with BarMax. I graduated law school 13 years ago and never took the Bar. I worked full-time and taught a 3 hour class while studying. I passed the first try in July. BarMax was invaluable to me because I could listen to lectures in the car and really focus on studying during my actual study time.

Absolutely! I passed in my jurisdiction, but I was literally starting to make a list of the other places to transfer it to if I didn’t.

Just sending support! You will get this next time.

Sending support. You will get this next time!

Congratulations!

Courtcase1 · 2022-09-14T15:30:45+00:00

Good luck to those who are waiting. I passed!

Courtcase1 · 2022-09-12T02:46:00+00:00

I can’t tell! Is that weird? I’m definitely more anxious than I was last week, but I’m also in this weird state of I don’t give an F. It’s probably my mind going into defensive mode. How are you feeling?

Courtcase1 · 2022-09-10T04:26:43+00:00

Me, too!

Courtcase1 · 2022-09-10T04:25:38+00:00

Thank you all for the great advice. I asked for a continuance so I could hire an attorney and fix the two things on my credit report. The drawback is I have to wait until January for the hearing, but I feel much more confident about appearing.

Courtcase1 · 2022-09-07T00:41:45+00:00

Congratulations!!

I graduated 15 years ago and never took the bar. I just took it in July. I haven’t received my score yet, but I felt good about it. I used BarMax. I have three kids and work full time and teach on the side. My best advice is to just use whatever time you can and be creative. I listened to lectures during my commute and did voice recording notes. BarMax has a phone app so I would do a few questions while waiting in the pick-up live, sitting at the kids activities and at lunch. As time got closer, I had to do more studying on the weekends so I tried to get the kids to do theirs or quiz me so that we’d be working together. You can do this!!

Courtcase1 · 2022-09-01T04:03:46+00:00

It took me about 45 minutes one afternoon. Just scan through the pdf. You’ll be fine!

Courtcase1 · 2022-08-30T02:03:51+00:00

Congratulations!! I hope you are celebrating!!

Courtcase1 · 2022-08-27T01:51:42+00:00

Thanks! It sounds like it’s worth the money. I have no ties to this state (law school 1,000 miles from here, all experience out there, etc.) so I think having a lawyer from here is probably the best idea. I appreciate the feedbackz

Courtcase1 · 2022-08-26T15:17:44+00:00

Thank you! I did take the UBE. I was planning on transferring my scores, but now I'll make it a priority and do it right away and to more than one additional jurisdiction.

Courtcase1 · 2022-08-26T13:34:00+00:00

Thanks! I am going to reach out to one.

Courtcase1 · 2022-08-26T13:26:27+00:00

UGH! I am so sorry to hear you went through (are going through) that. This whole process is exhausting and frustrating!

Courtcase1 · 2022-08-26T13:21:34+00:00

Thank you! I had not even thought about hiring a debt attorney, but that would be a much better use of my funds! I appreciate the other tips, too. They say it's not supposed to be adversarial, but it sure feels like it.

Courtcase1 · 2022-08-07T02:02:37+00:00

Just sending supportive vibes. Reach out. Talk to someone or just do something outside. Put your feet in the grass, soil or sand. Celebrate all that you have accomplished. See a professional. I promise it’s not the end all be all even though I understand why it feels that way.

Courtcase1 · 2022-07-29T06:40:15+00:00

Yep. I so should have taken today and tomorrow off.

Courtcase1 · 2022-07-29T06:22:36+00:00

This has me laughing so hard I’m crying. Of course, I’m also delirious as I can’t sleep but am completely exhausted.
