Good Luck On The Bar Exam!

Good Luck On The Bar Exam!

Good luck to everyone taking the bar exam tomorrow! If you’re reading this before you take the July 2020 bar exam, you may be feeling nervous and maybe even unprepared. Don’t worry, it’s perfectly normal to not feel ready for the bar exam. The bar exam is a big deal, and it’s natural to feel anxious about it. But instead of dwelling on your feelings, focus on these three things instead.

Good Luck On The Bar Exam!

Trust your preparation

If you took studying for the bar exam seriously, you know that you worked hard. You spent weeks cramming more legal knowledge in your head than you ever thought possible. You memorized the rules, the exceptions to the rules, and the exceptions to the exceptions. You took numerous quizzes and practice tests. You are in good shape to pass! Don’t fixate on what you could have done differently; focus instead on how much you have prepared. You are ready.

Keep calm

While it’s normal to get some pre-bar exam jitters, you want to keep calm and stay focused on the task at hand. Review how to stay calm the morning before and during the bar exam. And for now, just focus on getting to the testing site and through the registration process. Once you settle into your seat and start the exam, you will be ready to go.

If you find yourself feeling nervous, take a deep breath and try to observe things outside of you. Notice the color of the sky as you walk to your testing site. Notice the details of the test building: the carpet, the walls, the lights. By focusing your attention externally, you won’t focus on how you are feeling.

Practice gratitude

It can be hard to maintain a positive attitude after weeks of heavy studying and a big exam looming in front of you. But keeping a gratitude-oriented mindset can help you stay focused during the exam. Practice gratitude for all the people who have helped you get to where you are. You can even thank us at JD Advising in whatever way that we have helped you prepare!
