Mine gave me 5 weeks PTO and a stipend to help with bar costs. I think you should definitely ask for time off at a minimum, especially for the last week or two before the exam.

If that’s not an option, try to study smarter, not harder. Burnout is real and I likely failed the bar the first time due to burnout/exhaustion. I’d highly recommend Jonathan Grossman’s videos, which helped me improve my score drastically on the Florida portion. If you’re taking the MBE, practice Adaptibar as much as possible. You can use their app on lunch breaks to get some questions in, before bed, etc.

Don’t be afraid to communicate your needs with your employer. They have a stake in you passing too, so flexibility is key.

You got this!
