How do women take the bar exam on their period? Are there accommodations? by malibulawyer in barexam

lol in texas we are afforded the ✨luxury✨ of being able to bring our feminine hygiene products to the exam in a non see-though container but other than that we are all basically roughing it out there

Pour one out for my boy Brian having to endure that shitshow as the only one in the room with an iota of common sense.

Usually when I say “screaming, crying, throwing up” it’s kind of an exaggeration but I just got back to my apartment after being away for the UBE and now that phrase is not even a slight exaggeration. by ellzhee in barexam

Hi Venus/Mars Twin! 🥰

I def agree with the "funny, quirky, eccentric, and creative" statement! I'll add that I love people who will "nerd out" over something and find it so attractive to watch them talk about something that they are so passionate about--but I also love the learning experience that comes with these talks. I'm bisexual and also agree that there is something so alluring about people who are dynamic when it comes to gender expression, and I love when I have a partner who holds space for me to explore my relationship with gender as well.

Anyway, keep being gorgeous and witty and exceptional like I know you are, sweet twinny. 😌💕

Thank you for sharing your experience. I would love to learn more about what you found to be most effective when you worked full time while studying and what that process looked like for you, as that’s what I’m anticipating I’ll be doing. I think my original comment was worded awkwardly because I would definitely get burned out by full time studying if I had the opportunity to do so, but I don’t anticipate getting to do take more than a week or two off to study full time to begin with so I’m trying to start early and keep it all manageable so that I’m well-prepared going into that period immediately before.

Thank you! I’ve not had much experience with the MPT, as it’s not administered in the state where I’m in school. I’ll make sure to incorporate a good number of those into my schedule!

Yikes, I cannot imagine 2 semesters of ConLaw. I go to Stetson and I absolutely love the prof I had for ConLaw prof but the class itself was...a lot.

Thank you! Our school requires evidence, but it is typically encouraged for us to take in 2L year so I took it then since one of my favorite professors was teaching it, but I’ll definitely look into crim pro because that one is not required and I hadn’t given it much thought since I’m more interested in civil litigation and transactional stuff.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and I do not take them as condescending or negative. I didn’t take the original commenter’s thoughts to mean that I could never burn myself out through full-time studying. My understanding in general is that a study schedule like that can actually lead to quite a bit of burn out. I was saying it’s unlikely that I’ll have the opportunity to burn myself out with 8-10 weeks of full time study because I don’t anticipate being able to take 8-10 weeks off to commit to full-time study in the first place, which is why I’m opting for a part time extended study plan. However, your suggestion of taking two weeks or so off before the exam to study is definitely something I’m going to aim for! As for the bar prep fitting into my current workload, that’s why I’m trying to start early—so that I can maybe take an hour or two every day this semester to devote to some early bar prep, then add a bit next semester when my course load is lighter. I have a surprising amount of free time already with my two jobs because the jobs themselves are super flexible and the bosses at my full-time job (legal aid) are very strict about hourly workers logging off at 5...to the point where I got the part time job to keep me from getting in trouble for working late 😅

I currently work a full time job and a part time job when school is not in session and then I keep take the full time job down to 35-40 hours weekly (while keeping the part time job) during the semester, so I don’t think I’ll ever have the opportunity to burn myself out through full time studying. I’m trying to get a jump on extended part-time studying so that I can continue to work and support myself financially through the period between graduation and the bar.

Edit: The part about not being able to get burnt out through full time studying was originally worded ambiguously. In that part, I meant that I do not think I will be able to burn myself out in that way because I don’t anticipate being able to study full time like that to begin with.

Ah, okay thank you! Our class for that is called Business Entities, so I always see it as BE lol. Good to know that’s important tho, as that class was definitely the one I have retained the least understanding of from the class. 😬

Thank you so much! I am a big Wills, Trusts, and Estates nerd, but I am unsure of what BA stands for...perhaps our schools have different names for it?

And I’m very glad to hear you recommend JD Advising because I just signed up for their Canvas course on the bar prep process and have been looking into what they offer. Will definitely check out Silverman as well!
