    I concur with the good @JusticeWillett; treat #barexam study like a job, put in regular hours (until post-7/4 push), & you'll be fine.https://twitter.com/justicewillett/status/877324571900231680 …

        I began studying after 7/4. Even though I passed, that was a mistake.

        I had heard there were people who waited that long to study but I didn't believe it was possible. I can't imagine.

        Woof. I was in my first trimester when I studied for the bar. Had to build in plenty of time for nausea and rest. 😜

        It was rough. I abstained from caffeine & lived on sprite and saltines. Daughter is now the youngest person to have ever passed the bar ;)

        Most take the bar seriously. But I fear that through HS, college & law school Millennials have not learned what "studying hard" really is.

        I walked out of the 2012 exam saying that I either passed or I messed up bubbling in the mbe section.

        I had a 1000 page book of MBE questions, completed it, then went over all my wrong answers three times. Good times, good times
