Bar Exam Results for July 2012: Why Do Law Students Fail the Bar Exam

Now that most of the bar exam results have been posted, those who have failed their bar exam must analyze their scores and figure out why they failed and how to pass their bar exam for February 2013. Today we will discuss why you failed and, in a later blog, discuss ways to pass the bar exam.

You reverted 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 you to graduate from law school, even with average grades, but you cannot continue to write the way you did in law school. Some of your bad habits include, not organizing your answer, no line by line analysis and not answering the call of the question.

You have Poor Preparation and Time Management.

You may have started bar preparation entirely too late, leaving yourself in a rush mode. For the upcoming February 2013 bar, your preparation should start no later than November, 2012. 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.

You don’t really believe that you will pass

You may have been that student in law school that got an average to below average grades. Or you struggled through law school. However, in the back of your mind, you know that you were not a good student and you know that the bar exam is hard. 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.
