• Key application deadlines and exam dates
• Fees and what to expect financially
• The ins and outs of the case list (and what’s changed)
• What the oral exam actually looks like
• Common pitfalls that can cost you the exam
• And practical strategies to help you walk in confident and prepared

Whether you’re just starting your case list or gearing up for test day, this episode will help you focus on what actually matters.

Because passing this exam isn’t just about knowledge — it’s about preparation, timing, and execution.

You’ve worked too hard to miss something small. Let’s make sure you don’t.
