Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: A Structured Plan for Success

As we have analyzed in our previous blogs, Florida repeat bar exam takers should be very concerned with their ability to pass the Florida Bar Exam.

For those students coming from Florida A & M, you should be aware that your dean and the law school, with a first time bar exam rate of 52% over the last two exams, has reported that your school’s bar exam rate is higher than actual numbers. As we have shown through our blogs, the repeat bar exam taker numbers are substantially lower than first time takers. Absent a very structured study bar exam plan, many of the repeat bar exam takers will repeatedly fail the bar until they just give up on their dream of becoming a lawyer. As a law professor, I know too many students in this heart-breaking category. They are devastated with their failure beyond comprehension. They are literally paralyzed with indecision, depression and uncertainty about their career and, more importantly, they question their own ability to pass the bar.

My advice is to start with a very intensive structured plan. Obtain a tutor or enroll in a small bar review course and, more importantly, believe you will pass. Above all else, do not prepare for the exam as you did the first time. You have to change your approach with a structured plan for success.

Please note barprofessors will provide private tutorial for the Florida February 2010bar exam. Please go to barprofessors.com or e-mail barprofessors at pass@barprofessors.com. BarProfessors will also be conducting a seminar in November on how to pass the Florida Bar. The seminar will be held in Orlando and Miami. Seats are limited. Sign up is required.
