So with a little lull at work brought upon by some recent layoffs, I decided to start cementing plans for my July Bar exam. I spent an hour and half researching law books, bar exam study aids, and the California Bar exam requirements. I came upon two blogs of note, from 2 very seemingly bright women who had started blogging about their preparation for the exam. (Like where's the time, I don't have goal for my blog yet still I never have time to blog) They had inevitably failed the July 2007 exam, one of them so unprepared has decided to take the July 2008 exam instead of the February exam. Reading through how hard the exam is and the astounding number of repeat takers, makes me so frightened. These are people who had nothing else on their plate like I do with a regular 9-5, they had all day to prepare and study, just like I did when I took mine ever so long ago, yet they didn't pass it. I am indeed worried. I haven't even started studying. I don't even have any books. Do you think I should postpone it yet again to February 2009? I don't want to set myself up for failure, but this is one time that I am not too sure my brain can lead me to it. It is indeed one of the hardest states to pass their Bar, with the highest failure rate, so much that people who graduate from California schools go to take Bar exams from other states. That's just absurd.
I should decide by this weekend. Or maybe moreso after my annual review tomorrow.
