I am all about to-do lists and making action plans to get to your goal. If your goal is to pass the the bar this summer then how are you going to do that? I remember starting my Barbri course just days after graduation and just jumping into the content. Then I realized how I apparently didn’t remember anything from 1L year because I kept scoring SO low in torts and I was sure that this was a sign that I wouldn’t be able to pass. The truth is that bar studies is a long-form game because you have to study, memorize, and recall content in the certain way, so of course, it’s likely that if you’ve just started studying you think you suck. You don’t suck–you just haven’t learned what you need to learn yet. You have all summer for that. But, your experience will be better if you make a plan for the summer. One. Create a schedule. You need to have a study schedule and try to follow it as much as you can. Not just a schedule that blocks off time that you’re studying, but details that tell you what topic and what format you should be practicing. Creating this guide will help you study in a more efficient manner and it will give you an overview to make sure you’re studying everything equally–or focusing on weak areas. I would also add breaks, big events, exercise, etc. I like visual, strict timelines (like at 8am, I’m working out), if you prefer something more fluid, go for it–but commit to a schedule and put it down on paper. Two. Add fun to your schedule. Ha! I know, there’s no such thing as fun/entertainment during the Bar. Do you know how I know that? Because I still recall fondly how one night I went “rogue” and met up with friends that showed up to the city for dinner. The restaurant was in walking distance, so me and my husband headed over–I had a coke, stayed for an hour and went back home. It felt so luxurious to interact with people! So, nah you’re not going to have a lot of fun experiences this summer. If you have a great summer 17, then you’re not focusing on the right thing. Just saying. However, make sure you do have some breaks and if there are big milestone events in your loved ones’ lives, see if it’s viable to attend. But tbh, fun ends in June/early July at the latest. Three. Be clear with everyone about your needs/expectations. I had it easy, my husband was a saint during bar prep. He never complained when I couldn’t do anything, scavenged for his food, kept himself entertained–I mean, I know that shouldn’t qualify as sainthood status because he was a grown man, but let’s be honest there are partners out there that are completely inutil and expect too much. There are families that are incredibly dependent on all members. There are children who can’t seem to be self-sufficient–I mean, how hard is it to make your own bottle? (I’m kidding!). My point is that life moves on even after law school graduation. And many family members will not understand the importance of this exam. Or they’ll get that it’s important, but not understand the overwhelming dread and anxiety it incurs. Be patient with them, but be upfront. Tell them now what you’re in for and the help you need: “by July I can’t be a babysitter, help with the house, make dinner, etc. etc.” beg for that slack, because you’ll need it. Your focus needs to be this exam. Four. Add de-stressers to your life. So when I started bar prep, my anxiety was already so high that I started exercising because I wanted to fake out my mind and create endorphins so that I wouldn’t just eat my emotions into oblivion. A simple 30 min workout helped distract me, helped my health (hello–studying for 12 hours a day is not great on your body), and made me feel like I wasn’t going crazy. Maybe you like running, or painting, or baking—whatever works for you! Add a little bit of that to your early summer so that you aren’t going 100 mph studying and then burn out. End of July seems like a lifetime away–there will be days that will drag on forever and then there will be days that you’ll think you’ll never be able to learn everything on time. It’s a complete mindfuck. But if you commit the time; ignore distractions; and keep the faith in your ability to get this done–you’ll do better than you imagine.

I always thought it was so unfair how short lived the celebration for law school graduation was since I had to start my bar prep course the Monday after my graduation weekend. It’s like, can I please have a second to take in this accomplishment? Instead, we jump right into Bar studying and what will likely be known as one of the most stressful periods of your life. Yay! The reality is that the Bar shouldn’t be as intimidating as it is. If you’ve taken essay courses in law school then you know what to expect from the exam. But there is so much riding on this exam that the stress, anxiety, and general unknown makes it super F-ing hard. On top of that, you’ll go into your first week of prep and realize you barely remember Torts or Contracts r any other 1L course and that always freaks everyone out. So, in order to get ahead of the Bar Monster there are some things you can figure out ahead of time to feel a little more in control. One. Know where you’re studying. Seems simple, but just like when you started studying in law school, you really need to figure out a place that is conducive to your learning style. It also has to be a place where you will be able to study somewhat comfortably for long spans of time. During law school, I studied at the library. For the bar, I came back to my home to study after my Bar prep course. I did this because I didn’t want to be distracted and I didn’t want to lose time by commuting from place to place knowing I could study just as effectively and comfortably at home. Once you know your location, make sure you have all the tools necessary for that location to work for you. For me, this actually meant buying a cheap desk and lamp from craigslist. Two. Know what you’re studying. Obviously your bar prep course is giving you your prep materials and schedules to follow, which is super helpful. But you’ll have more awareness of purpose if you understand what your Bar is actually asking of you. For example, I had no idea we had to do an Multi-state Performance Test. They somewhat explained it on the first day, but because I only knew the general format ( i.e. there would be essays and multiple choice), it heightened my stress and fear. Cue to me WAY over doing MPT practice tests, which I didn’t really need to do. So, instead of freaking out when you hit an unknown topic; take a little time before hand to understand the format and subjects your state(s) will be testing. Three. Know your schedule. During the first half of bar prep, your course will likely give you a guideline of what topics you’re studying for that week. The second half is usually more independent and will really depend on your ability to plan ahead so that you select your study topics efficiently. The exam is mostly memorization so make sure you focus on your difficult topics upfront and give yourself plenty of time towards the end to practice essay questions and the multiple choice. Part of knowing your schedule also means making sure you have some fun events sprinkled in now and then to give yourself some stress relief. At the beginning, this can mean having a night out or even attending weddings, but by July it usually means taking short breaks or having a nice meal. I’ll always remember one Friday night (close to the test date), where college friends came up and had sushi near where I lived. I walked over, ordered a ginger ale, had a bite of sushi, and walked back home to finish studying for the night. #saddestfridayever Studying for the Bar isn’t fun,but the end goal is worth it. You will feel stressed, but gaining control of where, what, and how you study will make a huge difference.
