The Bar Exam is one of the most painful mental experiences in individual. It is amazing that after 3 years of intense post-graduate education, that a board of examiner's can come up with an arbitrary list of topics and questions that you somehow never learned enoguh about. Bar review courses are helpful, but not the only answer. It is not possible to simply go to these courses and expect to pass. You have to spend every other waking moment studying.

Many of my friends and associates have worked tirelessly researching the "easiest" bar exam and come up with various results. The fact is that the easiest bar exam is the one you study for.

Tips for success:
1. Begin studying early, familiarity with the topics and study material will make the task much less overwhelming.
2. When your review course begins, follow the outline of the course with your at home studying. This will bring the course into context.
3. Take plenty of practice exams. This will make the test day less frightening.
4. Take the evening of the night before the first day to get a nice meal, a lot of rest, excercise and no acohol. This will make you more clear for the test, and if you don't know it by then. You aren't going to so, relax.
5. Keep your sense of humor. No matter what happens, life goes on, heck I passed and I quit my only legal job in a year. I am a teacher now and I love it!
