I think that the thing I've found most comforting is that there's a communal feeling of fear. I can only speak for those of us who have just graduated law school, but we've been working at this for so long and all we want is the gratification that we're good enough to do this.

Maybe it all seems so big and scary now, but only because it's ALL we've been thinking about. Bar prep alone is a difficult, emotionally challenging process because it makes you constantly face the fact that there's so much more to learn... and you need to know it for this test.

I'm sorry if this mini-thread is corny/silly/dramatic to some, but I feel like someone else needs to hear that it's okay to be stressed, scared, and sometimes even feel worthless during this process (regardless of the fact that it's not true).

TLDR: Whether or not you pass the bar exam is not a measure of your self-worth. If Michelle Obama can get away with failing on her first shot at the bar exam, you can too.

90%???? CAN'T RELATE. But, you're right. It's not a measure of self-worth, but damn does it sure feel like it.

UMMM PRETTY SURE IT DID !!! That's insanely impressive. We'll push through this regardless of the result)

FOR SURE. Honestly numbers don’t even count- I just got a 9/20 on some contracts questions so clearly I’m not there quite yet we’ve got this
