I had a few drinks the night before I took the NY bar. Any last minute attempts at studying won't do you any good. |

Advice: try to answer each question with the CORRECT response!
If you employ this strategy, you are far more likely to pass. |

Good night's sleep probably most important. It sucks, but there is guaranteed to be some heavy duty drinking going on afterwards.
Think of it this way: you could fail 3x and still not be as dumb as Cuomo or that Kennedy kid who crashed his plane. |

Passing by one point is just as good as getting every question right.
I don't even really remember much about taking the bar exam. I was probably taking it right around this time, 23 years ago. |

Went to Fay. Family is all in TN and did not have a job when the deadline came to register so figured go back to TN if all else fails.
Since then, I was fortunate and landed a job with a certain NWA gun builder..... |

Good luck. IMO, waiting for scores to come out seems to be worse than actually taking the test, though I've never taken it, so that is just an observation. I would also highly recommend anything but criminal law if you have six figure student loans, once again just based on my observations. I could of had a really nice boat or beach condo or both...

Don't sweat it. I saw a documentary about a guy who passed it, easily, and never went to law school. He practiced law, was a great lawyer, even made partner. Sadly he went to jail to protect his secret.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Its hard but I passed the two I took on the first tries. You will think you failed after taking it, but you will probably pass if you studied. Took the bar in New York. Felt terrible leaving Javits Center where the exam was being held. Out of about 15 of my classmates, 13 of us thought we failed. As it turned out - 3 failed (and passed when they re-took the exam in February). The bar exam experience will be something you never forget. For the two weeks afterward, I didn't know what to do with myself after doing bar prep and studying morning to night for a couple of months. Good luck! |

"As your lawyer, I recommend you pass it....." Fear & Loathing in Las Vegus
I think it's a better choice than medicine & surgery--are people hovering over you to be sure you dot i's & cross t's or you won't get paid &might be fined? Are administrators posting the results of a "Root Cause Analysis " as an "RCA Analysis?" And asking you for an opinion....and you don't know whether the dumbass is talking abut their redundant Root Cause Analysis- Analysis error or some other Medicare foible. In many cases, the monkeys in the zoo--in some hospitals the administrators are doctors & nurses. But in some they aren't & have no clue over any of it. Nobody's cutting lawyer's pay with absurd "patient satisfaction scores" which have never been scientifically studied to validate them, yet the new way to withhold cash from Doctors & hospitals is to say your pts aren't happy because you don't prescribe what they want--antibiotics eor narcs.....my 20+ years of experience, which includes 8 years of school (undergrad & med school) then 5 years of general surgery residency as an extra year on fellowship for advanced surgery & research = a 3 minute Google search or something Dr. Oz said....and I get paid based on how happy I make that person feel about what Dr Oz said....   
No, you did the right thing, pass it & be off to the presidency or senate, at least. And endorse Tort reform! Become a career politician & suck at the taxpayers teat while boasting what. " self-made man" you are, and you'll have several million with legal insider trading( legal for you--illegal for me, cause lawyers make laws that protect themselves & their interests....) but you won't have a .gov regulator withholding the past 6 months of Medicare money threatening fines because they don't want to pay for the documented work you've done. Now, go out there & get some!!!

Take the civil service exam instead. I wish someone had given me that advice 33 years ago.
Edit to add: Do not over think the questions, your first answer is generally right. On the multiple choice questions, if you don't know don't know the answer guess you have a 1 in 4 or 5 chance of being right. Blank answers count for nothing. Get a good night's sleep and do not cram the night before. My law school buddies and I went camping for a week afterward to unwind with much alcohol imbibed around the camp fire. |

Saw too many of my classmates from MBA school going to work for big corporations so that they could play politics and show how modern / progressive they are- so that they could sit down and crunch Excel Spreadsheets all day, with hopes that the "big guys" never decide to cut back expenses and make their division, and job, disappear. Decided there was a better way. Figured out what I love (guns), recognized that I could go be around great people, and live life on my terms. Off to Berryville I go!!! |

Dress appropriately. I doubt TN makes you wear a suit, but if it does make sure you wear business attire or risk being excluded.
Also, when I took the KY bar they had the AC cranked so much condensation was dripping from the vents onto some tables. You may want a jacket in the car just in case. & another just in case- make sure your computer works & you know the admin password. I for some reason had a bit of trouble with my pw on my then newish laptop. You don't want to be unable to load the necessary software and end up taking the exam on paper (or not being another to take it). |

I'll tell you what my dean told me: "nobody in the top ten percent of the class has ever failed the bar". I hope that helps. If not, try this: everyone in my class who actually did their best to prepare passed. At least as far as I knew. And finally, the one person I knew from my class that failed the first time is now a partner in a large firm. Good luck. |
