My advice: Fuck Barbri and memorize. You've done enough practice MBEs, looked at enough essays to get the format down. Just memorize the law and you'll be fine.

Re: THE FINAL STRETCH
I seriously suggest that people who are taking the bar get off social media and message boards. During the final two weeks before I took the July 2015 New Jersey bar exam, I ate, slept, showered, and studied. That's it. I studied 12-14 hours a day. I was up until 2 AM half asleep doing MBE's. I cut off all communication with the outside world. I needed to be in a zone and talking to other people would only exacerbate my anxiety. I also needed to use every millisecond efficiently.

Re: THE FINAL STRETCH
You were super focused and I don't blame you. I think if you can put in a good 12-14 hour day, that is awesome. Did you find diminishing returns after 8 hours or do you think you were able to put in a solid 14 hour day? Towards the end, I was happy to get in a good, solid 6-8 hours studying (some days like 4-5 TBH, a few days it was nearly nothing because I think I was getting burned out). I think more than 8 hours was just diminishing returns for me.L_William_W wrote:I seriously suggest that people who are taking the bar get off social media and message boards.

Re: THE FINAL STRETCH
During the last 2 weeks, I was focused on rote memorization. The last thing I wanted was to forget the difference between marital privilege and spousal immunity. My adrenaline kept me going. And since this was my 4th attempt, I was desperate since it was all or nothing. There's no way I could study 12-14 hours a day for 2 months, but in a short period of time, I was able to do so. I did the same thing when I studied for finals.rcharter1978 wrote:You were super focused and I don't blame you. I think if you can put in a good 12-14 hour day, that is awesome.
