Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today we’re discussing how to rationally evaluate the reasons you failed the bar, and make a plan for moving on and passing the next time you sit for the exam.
In this episode we discuss:
- The importance of looking at your score report and what it’s telling you
- Deciding what you need to change in your prep approach
- Being realistic about fitting in studying around other obligations
- Are there accommodations you possibly needed and didn’t get?
- Thinking about whether you can afford to start studying again right now
