The Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast: Pass the Bar Exam with Less Stress

055: Using the Final Weekend of Bar Prep Effectively


Listen Later

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Studying for the bar exam is like a marathon -- you need to taper off your training in the final days so you can rest and restore energy. Today we are going through things to do during your final weekend of bar prep.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Setting up your routine to match that of exam day, so your body can adjust
  • The importance of studying in the 3 or 3.5-hour blocks you will be doing the testing in
  • Going to the exam site to figure out how long the commute will take you
  • Spending some time on your weak areas of heavily-tested law
  • Making sure you have all your registration materials and other stuff you're going to take into the exam room ready
  • Finding a way to distract yourself and clear your head the Monday before the exam
