It's about time I at least say something about the bar exam. Overall, taking the exam was not too bad. I thought I would feel stressed out in the exam. In reality, I felt pretty normal. Adrenaline probably kicked in and helped push me through. While I can't say I felt 100% prepared for the exam from taking BarBri, I can say that they prepared me with the test taking skills that I needed. That is, I never felt like I had a grip on memorizing the material, but I managed my time well throughout the exam. When I didn't know something, I didn't freak out. I just made up law.
More than anything, taking the bar exam felt like a type of hazing or rite of passage that I had to go through in order to get my law license from the state. I'm not too worried about the results. I prepared as much as I can, I'm a first time taker, and my school has a good pass rate.
Lastly, I had the good fortune of sitting next to a guy who probably should not have shown up for the exam. This poor guy had to fill in roughly 40 MBE questions at random because he ran out of time. He didn't show up for the last day of the exam. I'm not happy this guy didn't pass. However, sitting next to him made me feel more prepared and gave me a bit more confidence.
