This is it! Three years of law school and twelve weeks of bar-prep perdition are about to pay off. You're going to crush the bar exam! And in ten short weeks (give or take), you'll be sworn in as a bona fide attorney, and all this suffering will be oh, so worth it.
Here is a day-before checklist to make sure you're ready for the exam logistics:
Re-read the General Instructions. Know what's required, what's permitted, and what's forbidden at the exam site.
Pack your small items like pencils and highlighters in a clear baggie.
Pack your laptop, charger, and extension cord.
Don't forget a sweater or sweatshirt; the exam room is likely to be frigid.
Print your ticket! Put it in your ziplock baggie so you don't forget it. If you forget or lose your ticket (this happened to a student a couple of years ago), ask the concierge at your hotel to print it for you!
Get plenty of rest on Monday!
Lastly, courtesy of Jonathon Berry, Esq. ('17 whoop!), here is the Greatest Motivational Video Compilation Ever. Watch it and be inspired!
The entire school—the dean, the faculty, and the staff—is rooting for you. You've got this! God bless, and BTHO the Bar Exam!
The winners of this week's incentive drawing are Jeremiah Loar and Rebekah Schulte. Whoop!
Bummed because you didn't win one of the incentive drawings in the past 12 weeks? Don't fret--there's one more chance! Two weeks after the exam (when you've had time to rest and recover), I will distribute a short post-bar-exam survey. Everyone who completes the survey will be entered in a drawing for one of two Amazon gift cards. I'll post the survey link on GroupMe when the time comes.
