My Bar Exam Story: Make a Plan and Be Ready for Things to Not Go According to Plan

September 4, 2017 By Anita Bittner Leave a Comment

Personal Bar StoryIt has only been two years since I took the bar exam, but I am fairly confident it is an experience one does not easily forget. It seems every lawyer, whether seasoned or freshly admitted, has an arsenal of war stories from the bar exam based on their own experience, or that of their friends. Even before I took my exam, I was armed with horror stories of students whose phone rang during the exam because they forgot to take it out of their pocket on break, or whose laptop went flying across the exam room because the person in front of them accidentally pulled the power cord when getting up to use the restroom.

May 3, 2017 By Anita Bittner Leave a Comment

Bar exam study schedule Studying for the bar exam is probably nothing like what you’ve ever done before. It may be hard for you to figure out at first how to approach it.

I had no idea how I would achieve it in such a short time, but what I knew is that many have done it before me and were successful.
