General, Bar Exam and Bar Review The pre-law blog will be going on hiatus until at least after the 2008 February Bar Exam.
The last piece of advice I have is to those thinking about working and studying for the bar (below):
It's a grueling process, working a job through the lecture portion of the bar review course (which ends tomorrow). I'm pretty exhausted right now, even though CALI is a great employer that is very flexible about my work schedule.
So exhausted, in fact, that I'm looking forward to studying 10-12 hours a day for the next 2 weeks before the bar.
Why? Because I am taking time off of work the rest of the way to concentrate on studying for the bar.
No more days of where work + lecture + study = 15 or 16 hours of my day almost everyday.
I would
highly suggest anyone else who is looking back at this and thinking
about working while studying for the bar to take this advice: take at
least a couple of weeks off leading up to the bar. Even if you have to take a leave.
I think I have an idea about where I am in terms of performance on the bar. And if the bar was today, it would be up in the air as to whether I would pass or not. So I'll need to improve and make this time off count, and likely you will need that time too.
