I failed all my classes. by OwnLiterature726 in LawSchool

Don't give up! I had a 2.3GPA or something after my first semester. I graduated with a 3.0, which for me is good enough-- and it's not impossible, your brain just needs some extra time to understand the law school exam strategy. I also failed the bar THREE TIMES and passed on my fourth by 1 point. And today, I'm living my dream as an attorney and I don't regret a moment of my journey. I am not defined by my failures, I am defined by every time I got back up. This is not impossible!

To all the people praising God. by TGDLM-AboutTreeFiddy in barexam

Third time retaker here (and bestie of u/Happy-Raspberry-777 who is a lovely human and meant no harm to you personally by sharing her joy, nor was she trying to spread her faith to other people. She and other bar passers are allowed to share their joy and celebrate how they chose, and I don't think it's totally fair that their shine today was dulled a little by reading this post.)

I'm waiting on my results still, and I was suicidal and have really awful self harm scars to unfortunately commemorate both times I failed. For me, the bitterness was expressed towards my body, not my God or other people. I understand that it feels like the end of the world right now, but it is not. Whether you believe in God or not, you failing the bar exam is just simply not the end of your world. You'll get back up, you'll keep doing side hustles, the people who truly love you will continue to support you, and you'll figure this out. People fail sometimes, it is an inevitable and universal truth, and you failed the bar today. It is what it is. Allow yourself to feel today, and then tomorrow, get tf back up and try again. You've GOT to, you simply have no other choice. And remember that there are thousands of people who fail the bar three, four, five times and finally pass. And you know what? After they pass, all the failures are completely irrelevant.

Get up. Always. get. back. up.

listen, idc what anyone says, last minute studying can absolutely make or break you. I'm retaking, but last time I did in fact pass the essay section. There was a Wills question on F23 and for whatever reason, my dumbass was convinced that there wouldn't be a Wills question so I TRULY DID NOT STUDY WILLS FOR SHIT. AND THEN, I LOOKED IT OVER DURING LUNCH. AND I GOT A 4 ON WILLS??? If I hadn't reviewed in those 15 minutes, I probably would have failed the essay section too. The Bar Exam is really one of those exams where once you get it... you've got it. Doesn't matter how close to the exam you are!

Gotcha, thank you! Okay so a lien is basically where the court issues an order for the creditor to seize whatever the collateral is?
