The Bar Exam is the right of passage that is the bridge between the socratic method of learning we all endured in law school and the ability to actually practice what we learned. If the law schools are so great at teaching, why do so many of us struggle with the Bar Exam after graduation?

Take Care of Yourself
There is no doubt that those of you preparing for the February 2011 Bar Exam are feeling the stress. It is very important to take care of yourself physically at this stage. Nutrition, exercise and rest have never been more important. In the few days remaining, review rules via flashcards or outlines. If you find a topic you feel particularly weak in, outline and issue a couple of essays on that topic.
Give yourself credit for the work you have put in. Go in to the exam as relaxed as you can be and with the physical strength to endure the time of the exam. Believe in yourself and you will succeed!
Good luck!

Time Remaining
In the time remaining before the February Bar Exam it is critically important that you write practice essays and MPTs under timed test conditions even if you do not believe you know enough substantive law. After writing the practice exams, use your notes to grade yourself. This exercise will improve your knowledge of the law and make you feel more comfortable during the exam.
Make the rest of your study time about active learning. Passive learning will not serve you nearly as well!!
Good luck!
