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?

Recommending the Bar Exam Mind
How you use the time between now and the next bar exam will determine whether or not you pass the exam. Because you graduated from law school, no matter what your ranking, you have the intellectual ability to pass the bar exam. I repeated the bar exam multiple times so I know from first hand experience the effects of not managing life's distractions. You must carefully manage your time so when you are studying there are no distractions. But it is equally important for you to schedule time to exercise and meditate. You need to be physically and emotionally strong going into the bar exam!
Review the schedule you have in place. Does it allow for at least 30 minutes of exercise each day? Do you allow yourself time to rest your mind? One successful bar exam applicant scheduled a movie every Friday afternoon. This may or may not work for you but it worked for her. Preparing for the Bar Exam is more about how you prepare and less about how many hours you prepare.
A fellow blogger has recently written a book which you might find helpful in managing the stress associated with preparing for the Bar Exam. He has successfully completed the Oregon and California Bar Exams and shares my desire to disseminate information that can improve any applicants chance of passing any Bar Exam. I highly recommend you visit http://www.barexammind.com/ to access his ebook and other well written tips you might find helpful in your journey towards becoming a licensed attorney.
