Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today we’re discussing what we have learned so far from the July 2026 bar exam results, noting why sometimes there is a discrepancy between how people felt they did versus the actual score they received. We share some recommendations for unsuccessful takers, including analyzing score reports, honestly auditing weaknesses, and changing study methods — especially considering the NextGen transition ahead.
In this episode we discuss:
- July 2026 bar results are starting to roll in — what are bar takers sharing so far?
- Why self-assessment of how you did can be unreliable
- How to audit your exam results if you failed
- Handling the waiting period for results — what to do instead of worrying
