What can one say about an exam that takes 3 months to study for, 3 months to grade, and practically no believes they passed once leaving the testing hall? Well, I am sure many reading this article expect to get some insight on a shortcut or some advice that will make the entire process pleasant. The truth is there is no shortcut and there is no easy way. The bar exam is essentially the last hurdle to becoming a lawyer, and they don’t make it easy on you. You simply have to do what the rest of us did to succeed. The intent of this article is to provide you, the reader, with what you need to do, what you need to think, and a little bit of how to go about passing the bar exam. And there are no real shortcuts involved.
