Bar Exam Tips & Secrets

by Ralph A. Sarmiento

Prepare Physically & Emotionally

The Bar Exam is not just about mental preparation. You might have prepared your mind for it pretty well but if your body bugs down, then all your preparation will come to naught. Keep a healthy lifestyle throughout the review period and the Bar Exam month. Get enough sleep. Eat nourishing meals. Exercise to keep your body and mind sharp.

You should also keep away from all kinds of emotional problems. Most of these problems may be avoided if only the persons close to you understand what you are going through in preparing for and in taking the Bar Exams. One tactic here is to write love letters to your spouse, fiancée, fiancé, parents, kids, relatives, friends, and your enemies (?) and explain to them what you will be undergoing, its importance to you and to them, that you can no longer spend the same number of hours with them as before, that they should spare you from text messaging, chain emails, and errands that could be done by other persons. Ask for their understanding and support, morally and financially if you need to or beg for it if you have to.
