Bar Exam Diaries

Preparation for the bar exam is always key. Obviously. But there are the basics and some new ways law students prepare for the grueling final exam. The National Jurist asked former student editor and recent law school graduate, Jennifer Pohlman, to chronicle her preparation for the bar exam. Expect humor, frustration and satisfaction.  

Graduation came and went, and to be honest, was very bittersweet.
My first week of bar review seems to have only taught me one thing: I remember absolutely nothing from my first year of law school.
I’m another week deep on BarBri, and I am behind — big time.
It’s tough to get back in step on bar studying when you get behind. It’s even more difficult when you spend the weekend wrapped in dark blue taffeta sitting at an open bar. 
This week I’ve been trying to play major catch up.
Surprisingly, my attitude has changed somewhat from law week.
I spent most of the Fourth of July weekend wrapped up in a blanket and studying like a fool (except for a break to watch some fireworks, drink one beer and eat a few hot dogs).
I’m in the final countdown for bar prep, and I’m not completely losing it, which is a shock to me.
