The 2020-21 admissions cycle has proven more competitive than past years. There are many reasons for this, including COVID-19, the election year, and our current political and social climate.

After you finish taking the bar exam, it’s not uncommon to feel like you did poorly. If you feel like you failed the exam, or failed a section of the exam like the MEE, you’re not alone. However, there’s some good news: many students who feel like they failed the bar go on to pass! If you’re worried you failed the MEE, there’s even better news: you can fail the MEE and still pass the bar!
The truth is, navigating law school from admissions to the bar exam is difficult without some assistance. Some law students have parents who are lawyers and have gone through the process. Others have other family members or friends who can give them advice. That said, plenty of other students don’t know any lawyers, and many are the first in their families to go to college. Irrespective of your connections to the legal field already, everyone can benefit from a law school mentor. Keep reading to learn how to find one for yourself!

(Note: This post assumes test takers are sitting for the bar in-person. Due to Covid-19, please review guidelines from the state where you plan to take the test.)

When deciding how to study for the MPRE, many law students opt for an MPRE course. We highly recommend a course for many reasons but remember, not all MPRE courses are created equal. Using the wrong MPRE course may keep you from passing and force you to take the MPRE multiple times. To avoid that fate, do your research on MPRE courses beforehand. You should consider factors like the course content and structure, client satisfaction, and the number of people who use the course. Each of those considerations points to our free MPRE course, which has helped countless students pass the MPRE.
Whether you’re about to start your 1L year or already have one-semester completed, you’ve probably heard about 1L summer positions. 1L summer positions are vital to success in law school, but probably not for the reasons you might expect. While they likely won’t have an impact on the academic side of law school, they will impact the career side. A 1L summer position plays an important role in helping you secure a 2L summer associate position. In turn, that 2L position hopefully manifests itself into a full-time employment offer for after graduation and the Bar Exam.
All of the time dedicated to studying, preparing, and practicing comes down to Day One of the Bar Exam.

For the most part, that mindset will serve you well during the bar prep process. However, there is one exception that students should be aware of. The day, and more importantly the night, before the Bar Exam.
