So, whether you passed (CONGRATS) or didn't pass the bar exam, this episode is for you. As two multiple attempt bar exam survivors, we have some sound advice for those of you that may have gotten some not-so-great news lately. 

So, what do you do if you don't pass? Here is where to start: 

1. Perspective is Key: Understand that failing the bar exam does not define your worth as a future lawyer. It's a challenging test, and many successful lawyers have faced setbacks along the way. Recognize that the exam is just one step in your journey to becoming a lawyer, and it does not reflect your intelligence or capability.

2. Resilience is Vital: Developing resilience is crucial for aspiring lawyers facing the bar exam. If you don't pass on your first attempt, use it as an opportunity to strengthen your resolve and dedication. Learn from any mistakes, seek support from peers and mentors, and commit to a diligent study plan for your next attempt. Remember, many successful lawyers have faced setbacks before ultimately succeeding.

3. Focus on Growth: Instead of dwelling on the disappointment of failure, focus on how you can grow from the experience. Analyze your performance, identify areas for improvement, and adjust your study strategies accordingly. Use the setback as motivation to work even harder and approach the exam with renewed determination. Each attempt is a chance to learn and grow as a future lawyer, bringing you closer to your goal of passing the bar exam.
