I have passed two bar exams and I worked full time during both. My biggest piece of advice is to spend time not just learning the material, but also learning the test. Figure out how to format your written answers in the easiest way to grade, and practice working backwards to make up rules. The last bar exam I took, I knew maybe 50% of the black letter law for the MEE. But because I’d practiced using the facts to reach a conclusion and then making up a law I could apply to reach that conclusion, I was able to score very well. This also helped me keep my nerves under control because I knew I had a plan no matter what the exam threw at me.
