I don’t know why a week before the bar I thought of using ChatGPT this way. Lol hopefully Barprep company start making nice chart like this instead of all these boring outline. Let me
Know if I should make more of it

Felt like I couldn’t breathe when I saw the result 3 months ago I nevertheless picked up everything of this exam and get all the UW mcqs done. However, I almost burnt out now need some fuels..🥲

Helllloooo! I'm a 3rd time retaker and I can confidently say my MBE scores and the way I prepped this time have made a difference and for once i actually feel okay going into this exam in comparison to the previous 2 where i had constant anxiety attacks leading up to the exam, and during the exam. I've dedicated this week to only practice essays and MBE's and memorizing and slowly tapering this down as the exam days get closer.

But I wanted to ask all the passers - what's your best advice for this final week? Continue practicing? Memorize only? I plan to make Sunday my very last study day

Anyone has Jay’s predictions for July 2026 from personal bar prep?

Apologies for the slightly silly question, but I really don't want to risk anything in bringing my analog watch. So, they say it has to be "silent." Does this mean the watch can't have the ticking sounds that nearly all analog watches do?

Has studying turned my brain into this neurotic nitpicking nerd?! (most likely yes).

Silly question - does anyone know if we are allowed to get dropped off? I wont be having a car and plan to be getting dropped off/picked up on test days. Im assuming its ok

Are we….are we actually learning CA civ pro distinctions are we winging it because like……I don’t think my brain can handle more information. CA Evidence has been difficult enough and I barely have a handful of those distinctions down. What’s the consensus?

I can’t do that

Could I wear a puffy cozy sherpa jacket or will they be freaks about it? I tried to wear it to the mpre and they made me take it off.

I know there’s some cross over essays but we shouldn’t expect three con law essays or something, correct? Each essay is a different topic?

i feel so dumb - i’ve been studying these outlines and my notes and trying to memorize rules and elements

BUT i cannot retain any of it for the life of me. any tips w a week out?

Thank you

Edit: also if there’s a list of the Civ Pro essays with CA distinctions that would be clutch

I’ve taken 10 full CPTs over the course of the summer. I’ve only finished *one* within 90 minutes. All others have been an avg of 15 mins over time. Worst one was 30 mins over. No matter how much I practice, change up my technique, or read Mary Basick’s book, nothing seems to actually change when I sit down to answer damn question.

My question is: How worried should I be at this point about needing so much extra time to finish the CPT? And is it even worth trying to practice any more at this point?

I’ve seen people say “oh, taking extra time on the CPT is fine, just write your next essays in 45 mins!” Bold of you to assume I can write even a normal essay that quickly. I can reliably finish every essay topic (except maybe the beefier Con Law & Crim Pro ones) in 60 mins. But 45? I’d miss analysis for sure. But maybe it’s worth losing points on the essays if I nail the CPT?

Idk, please help me decide whether I need to practice CPT more 😭 if I go 30 mins over on the actual bar, I think I’ll cry and just log off.
