How to Deal with the Approaching Bar Exam

Following are pieces of advice from the BlogWorld on dealing with the approaching Bar exam.

Dukelawref says above all else, remember this: You know more than you think you do.

Blog.passlaw.com says that in the final stretch, you must memorize legal rules. You must know each element of each important rule as if it were your most frequently used password. "This last home stretch, these next weeks, is the time to memorize. Too much earlier and you may have forgotten things."

"Read and re-read rule statements aloud. Look at them, listen to them, write them out, test yourself, have others test you. Engage fully in the memorization process."

For others well supported by friends and family, tell them that if they ever give you something to get by, you need:

- a time machine that provides extra study time during the day
- a time machine if in case you need to return to last month and then do the last six weeks over, this time without procrastinating
- kidding aside, a cushion to sit on (library chairs can be very uncomfortable after long periods of time)
- prepared meals
- a collection of pens and pencils for the Bar Exam (exam takers seem to feel the need to bring in a wide collection of writing instruments, preparing for the full days of non-stop writing)
- magic herbs that increase memory

These were the suggestions by Invadingnyc.
