By now you may have realized that ignoring the written portion of the bar exam was not the best strategy.
If you are like most of my clients before they start working with me, then you probably feel emotionally and physically drained. You may be dreading having to study for the bar exam again.
You may have even decided to stay off social media for a while because seeing everyone’s posts on LinkedIn and Instagram celebrating their success on the bar exam and new jobs, leaves you feeling worse (even if you are happy for them).
No matter what you did last time, you are not alone! And I understand.
The problem is bar prep courses aren't the solution for a big percentage of bar exam takers.
Bar prep courses are the very reason you failed the bar exam. Yes, you read that right. They sell the idea that you will pass the bar exam if you complete the course.
BUT if that were the case, why are bar exam takers failing the bar exam in such high numbers? According to the NCBE, in 2019 only 58% of bar exam takers nationwide passed the bar exam. Post-pandemic the numbers aren't getting any better.
The reality is the bar prep system is flawed. Bar prep courses don’t work for a huge percentage of bar exam takers because they are deficient in 3 key areas.
It’s not your fault.
