Passing the Bar The bar exam experiencethe preparation process as well as the exam itselfcan be an intense and memorable time in ones life. Academically, the test presents special challenges, because most of us find that at least one subject on the exam is one we never covered in school. Moreover, even those subjects we did cover may be tested in new "black-letter law" detail. But aside from the academic issues, the bar exam also presents deeper personal challenges. Many if not most of us have never taken an exam that lasted three days, as the bar exam does here in California. Many of us have never taken a licensing exam that was a doorway to an entire profession, a profession that offers great opportunities and challenges of its own. Theres a lot of pressureexternal as well as self-imposedput on us to succeed, and this very pressure can have a negative impact on our ability to do so. BarRev Bar Review That's why the BarRev approach meets students on many different levels, developing not only the academic knowledgememorization of the law may be the easier partbut also numerous skills that are required for delivering the goods on test day, namely:
Many students who don't pass the exam fail to develop these skills fully. We also collaborate with each student in creating a personal game plan to capitalize on that individuals strengths and to shore up weaknesses. We may even need to discuss personal traits, such as patience (or the lack thereof!), that happen to surface along the way. Preparation, not just information, is the key to the test. Those who prepare themselves mentally, physically, and logistically for the testand even for the preparation process itselfhave a much greater likelihood of performing at their best when it counts. Best of luck! |
