9 tests over three days. About two hours each.

What state?

Louisiana, California, and New York are all hard as hell.

South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Alabama are all pretty easy.

AOC passed it so it can’t be that hard.

I took it four days after major reconstructive surgery on my face and I still passed. I could barely see.

It’s very hard, but not so hard a lot of serious idiots can’t pass it.

Slightly harder than a bull's dick on frick night.

Ask all those fools who have a law degree from a law school not accredited by the ABA.

Very few questions on the Bar are hard, as in complicated/tricky/etc. The Bar exam is difficult because it's all day for three days, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. The breadth of knowledge that's required is, frankly, stupid and pointless.

Put another way, any reasonably intelligent person should be able to pass it if they study like it's their job (literally, 8-5) for three straight months. It's more of an endurance race than anything else. But that, in and of itself, makes it hard.

If you went through law school, pay for the bar bri course, and for the most part do the prep work, you’ll pass.

If you do all the recommended prep work, you’ll kick its arse.

If you just goof around, golf, and drink for the time between graduation and the test and try to cram in the final two weeks, it’s a coin flip.

Louisiana was easy to me. I thought the MS bar was much harder. The MBE portion was easy but their essays were more difficult.

People can have different political views and still be "smart".
