Why Do Law Students Fail the Bar Exam?

Most law students fail the Bar Exam for three major reasons:

1. They revert back to bad writing habits developed in law school.

Under the pressures of the bar exam, many students revert back to bad habits. These bad habits allowed them to graduate from law school, but will be the kiss of death on the bar exam. Some of the bad habits include, not organizing your answer, no line by line analysis and not answering the call of the question.

2. Poor Preparation and Time Management.

Many law students start their bar preparation entirely too late, leaving most in a rush mode. For the upcoming February 2013 bar, your preparation should start immediately after you receive notice that you must retake your exam. You should allow yourself 5 to 6 hours per day for studying. But more importantly, studying correctly is the key. You need to write and answer many essays and MBE questions. Your answers must be evaluated by a private tutor.

3. They don’t really believe that they will pass

You must have a belief that you will pass. Get rid of all negative thoughts, people and things. You must truly believe that you will pass. You must say this every single day prior to the bar and you must have the confidence to succeed.
