Today marks 41 days to the February bar exam. Study, sleep, eat, and exercise. That is all you should do. The temptation to stray or take a few hours or few days off will be with you for the next 41 days. You will be tempted at every turn to allow distractions from studying. Well-meaning people who love you will say, “Oh but it’s just one party, one night. You’re studying all day; you can take off this one night. It means so much to me….” Resist those voices. That same person who wants you to take time off will not be around or will not understand your devastation when you fail the bar exam. Accept that you have 41 days of study ahead of you.
In the scheme of your lifetime, the next 41 days are not a lot of time to get yourself ready or to sacrifice to get yourself ready. It’s worth your time to have a lifetime career as a lawyer.
It’s all about getting yourself ready for the best performance of your life in February. Keep your focus.
Happy Studying!!!

I would have to disagree with this post. No one can study non-stop as this poster would suggest you do. I recently took and passed the July 09 CA Bar Exam, and I took off one day a week to spend with family and friends, away from studying and away from worrying about the bar exam. If you don't get some relaxation time, you will be so burned out when the bar exam takes place, you will be sure to fail. Just use common sense and do what feels right to you. If you know your material and go in feeling comfortable and confident, you will do just fine.
ReplyDeleteI would have to disagree with the last comment. I have been studying non-stop and I will continue to study non-stop until the Friday before the exam. Determination, Focus, Endurance and NO REGRETS!
