This is it – it is time for the big day. You might be starting to feel the nerves setting in. You might be excited (yes, excited is how one of my students described it) because the end is near. Or you may be just thankful that this experience is over. Whatever your thoughts, it is game time! Here is your bar exam pep talk. 
It is time to look forward and focus on performing your best during the next several days. Whether you feel good about how you prepared or worry that you may have regrets, it doesn’t matter now. What matters is how you feel moving forward. It all comes down to these two or three days of work. No one will ever know how many practice tests you did or how late you studied into the evenings. You just need to look forward and focus to do your best. Worrying about the past few months of prep will not get you any closer to passing. It is all about how you perform on exam day.
