The February 2013 Bar Exam: Working Under Bar Exam Hours

With the bar exam just around the corner, you will need to adjust your schedule to imitate the bar exam hours. We all know that the bar exam is not only mentally exhausting, but also physically challenging, especially if you are not used to getting up early in the morning and performing at your best, starting at 9 am. The best way to get used to that grueling schedule is to move to “bar exam hours.”

If you are like some of my students who study all night, stop it today. From this day forward, until after the bar exam, get up at 6 am or 7 am, shake the early morning cobwebs loose, and eat a little breakfast. Even if you hate breakfast, you know you’ll need to eat something the morning of the bar exam. You cannot wait until the lunch break to take nutrition on the day of the bar exam. In this run up to the bar exam, eat a little something every morning. If you are not a breakfast person, let your stomach adjust to early morning food. Eat simple and bland – bread, a banana.
Then, start studying at 9 am until 12 pm, with no breaks, take an hour to eat and relax, then study from 1 pm to 4 pm, with no breaks, You want to mimic the bar exam hours so you are at your peak at 9 am every day. Don’t leave anything to chance, plan out your day, even to the most minute details. That is what lawyers do.
