Study more, post less.

Should have graduated in 2020.

Barbri. It ain’t cheap, but it’s effective.

IMO, the in-person prep classes weren’t that helpful to me. What really got me through the bar was working old exams with the solutions.

I went issue by issue, following the following routine for each one:

Step 1: copy the sample answer by hand word for word while looking at it

Step 2: attempt to copy the sample answer again while only glancing at it as few times as possible.

Step 3: try to answer the exact same question in your own words while glancing occasionally at what you wrote before.

Step 4: answer the question without looking at anything.

Step 5: answer another question which uses a different fact pattern but the same basic analysis

Step 6: check the answer from step 5 against the sample answer and grade yourself

Repeat this process for every type of question on the bar.

Do like my buddy did, rent a hotel room for a week, only tell one close person where you are, turn off all devices and just study.

He passed his first attempt.

I took the one put on at the LSU Law Center taught by the LSU faculty and it was fine, but that was a long time ago.

The questions on the bar exam are a lot easier than the ones on the law school exams. The problem is you have to know everything at the same time.

Just get the materials and work old tests.

I paid for the classes, but didnt feel like I got much out of them so I stopped going and just worked old tests.

Treat it like a job so you don't go crazy. From 9-5 Monday-Thursday study. On Fridays, stop at 2 or 3 in the afternoon.

Enjoy your weekends

Once you get a couple weeks out, you adjust that schedule based on how you feel preparation-wise.

I did this and passed the first try.


Or do like the other poster said, Graduate in 2000 and you dont have to take it.

Does anyone know of an in-person Bar prep course? These online courses are shite

Barbri offers online or in person.

The online courses are sufficient if you have the self discipline to do them and do them correctly.
