Hey, it’s Roberta here! Welcome to the 10th episode of the podcast—whoop whoop! To celebrate this milestone, I’m sharing 10 essential tips for tackling the bar exam, especially if you’re retaking it or studying while working full-time.
I know the struggle firsthand. I’ve passed two bar exams, and for one of them, I was working full-time. On top of that, I’ve helped students who’ve faced multiple retakes—some up to six times—finally pass. Whether you’re a first-time test taker or juggling work and study, you’ll find nuggets of wisdom here.
Here’s what I’ll cover today:
- My 5-part framework from the Blessed and Barred system.
- Actionable strategies that I and my students have successfully used.
- Conduct a Bar Exam Audit: Reflect on past performance to pinpoint what worked and what didn’t.
- Assess Your Time Usage: What did you prioritize last time, and how did it impact your prep?
- Adopt the Right Mindset: Build your faith and confidence to create a productive study environment.
- Set Boundaries: Protect your study time with firm boundaries.
- Personalize Your Study Approach: Find the learning methods that work best for YOU.
I’ll break these tips into categories that align with my proven system, so stick around! By the end of this episode, you’ll feel more empowered to crush the bar exam, no matter your circumstances.
