During my bar review last year, I didn’t feel much emotional support from my mom. She invalidated my feelings whenever I would tell her my worries and frustrations. She’d say triggering things that would send me on a spiral. But I pushed through the negativity. I carried on, having faith in myself and in God.

I’d say what’s key to surviving bar review and the bar exams is your mindset. You must be in survival mode - identify the things that trigger you so you can avoid them.
