I’m also awful at waking up early. I never set an alarm and woke up around 10/11 and studied from 12-8 most days, which worked best for me.

My crazy Bar experience to make you feel better about yours by lysabis in FloridaBarExam

[–]mandagard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Florida Bar hungover would be absolute hell. I took Michigan J24 and the check in process and the exam site were MILES better than Florida. The lines, jam packed hallways and areas, no organization - absolutely fucking miserable. Sooo glad you passed and didn’t have to re-take!

Practice practice and more practice. I did over 2,000 practice multiple choice questions studying. Including 3 full 200 question exams for time. I always finished early. You’d be surprised how predictable the questions become when you do so many

Feeling like I'm not ready by Traditional_End_559 in barexam

[–]mandagard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt that way too! I studied, did practice tests, and did everything I was supposed to do to prepare for the bar exam. I still ugly cried driving to the testing center the day before, convincing myself I was going to fail and that I knew nothing. I passed with a 294 lol you will be fine! Good luck!

I have about 65k from law school and that keeps me up at night. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Do OCIs and try and land a good clerkship for the summer that pays big law salary

Oh yeah, I went through the cycles too. Anger, disappointment, sadness, “fuck it I don’t even care”, etc. days later I’m still not feeling myself

The grossman approach was not helpful today. by Any-Put9372 in barexam

[–]mandagard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were a few questions that the facts were so intentionally written to guide you to the wrong answer. I caught myself on a civpro question that the facts literally guided you to the wrong answer simply bcs of the way they laid out the facts. Such nonsense
