What to Do If You Failed the Uniform Bar Exam—A FREE Guide by JD Advising

If you failed the Uniform Bar Exam, you are certainly not alone. However, you may find it difficult to know the next steps. We hear from many students who say they worked hard, completed their bar review course(s), and thought they were set to pass—when they found out they failed the Uniform Bar Exam. This is devastating. And, even worse, some students feel hopeless. If they did everything “right” last time, will they ever pass?

The good news is, it is not only possible to pass the Uniform Bar Exam the next time you take it, but it is also probable! You are actually at an advantage if you failed the Uniform Bar Exam because (a) you aren’t starting from scratch (you certainly learned a lot when you studied the first time!) and (b) you have invaluable information at your disposal regarding what went well and what didn’t. This can illuminate the path going forward.

It is not always easy to figure out the next steps, so we created this helpful Guide on what to do if you failed the Uniform Bar Exam. Below, we give you a brief overview of what is in this Guide. You can read it here or download a free copy!
