Wondering what to do while you wait for July 2023 New York Bar Exam results?

We frequently recommend that people come up with a “Plan A” and a “Plan B” while they are waiting for results. Plan A is what you will do if you pass (e.g., apply for jobs, update your LinkedIn profile, etc.). And plan B is what you will do if you fail. If you want help coming up with your plan B, read this post on what to do if you fail the New York bar exam.

While you wait for your July 2023 New York Bar Exam results, we recommend that you read these two articles:  a note to those who pass the bar exam and a note to those who fail the bar exam. They are both good to read prior to getting results. (Whether you pass and friend fails or vice versa, you will be more prepared to deal with it, or to be a good friend to your friends that fail. And you will be in the right mindset!).
