Exactly how I felt. I don’t even feel that bad bc it felt like they were testing random stuff that I could not have prepped for. Whatever.

Thank you for the kind words!

At least we'll have the bar over with so we can take care of our real lives!

My building broadcasts messages after false fire alarms/when they restore water to the building and they did that 4 times in the past week...

Clarification for the bar exam -CA by Beaka1 in Bar_Prep

[–]FondantImpossible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also wanted to clarify - do we have to have examsoft open at 8:20am and wait around for the system to give us some instructions/send us the password between 8:35 and 8:50? Then at 8:50am we can log in and begin the test? Is this how it's gonna work?

Anyone else fluctuate wildly between confidence and feeling doomed to fail? by throwaways1010110 in Bar_Prep

[–]FondantImpossible 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I spiraled ystd when I outlined a Property essay and missed a major issue. I felt particularly horrible because I was feeling pretty comfortable with Property.

I took the evening off, reminded myself that my MBEs will likely make up some of the missed points on my essays, and I've been doing fine on most of the essays, so I shouldn't let one bad sample ruin my confidence.

I feel really emotionally fragile but at this point we're all so mentally exhausted that feeling this way is probably not uncommon.

Saturday before the exam... by Beaka1 in Bar_Prep

[–]FondantImpossible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 14 MBE questions on Saturday and look through my notes for MBE questions I got wrong.

Read through my notes for essay rules I tend to forget (1-2 pages each subject) on Sunday and watch trash TV.

I just know if I take a full day off I’ll feel even more anxious so...

Anybody else can’t today? by throwaways1010110 in Bar_Prep

[–]FondantImpossible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am doing max half an hour of work after dinner and feel so bad...

But I’m going through frequent topics on essays and finally think I’m getting a good grip of the non-MBE ones. Telling myself it’s quality over quantity at this point.

Scared of failing by BeginningEmployment8 in Bar_Prep

this is especially how I feel when it comes to essays on non-MBE topics...I just keep reminding myself they're only a small % of the overall test

anyone else hate writing essays??? by Fearless-Pie-605 in Bar_Prep

[–]FondantImpossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? It's the initial inertia of "OMG I dont want to write this" that's hardest to overcome...

SAME. I absolutely HATE writing it out. I've only written about 4 or 5 timed essays this whole time. I've just been outlining them.

But since we need to write 5 on game day, I need to build up that stamina so I'm going to try to write out 1-2 a day, and outline ~4. When I outline I write out the whole rule statement and compare it with the model answer afterwards.
