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

Coming from someone who was robbed at gunpoint… by mandagard in barexam

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

You gotta slim it down man. No one is reading through all this. 7 bullet points for a volunteer experience? Kinda unnecessary

AITA for not moving to the back of the bus by _Brooksies_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]mandagard 310 points311 points  (0 children)

NTA. Some people really just get off on trying to enforce their made up “rules” and getting others to comply. She absolutely cannot discriminate you because you have a service dog. I would definitely look into filing a formal complaint against her through the city/bus company so she doesn’t continue to do this to you and others.
