are you taking a class or just winging it?
Don't the classes make it a little more tolerable or is that where you are posting from now?

HERE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My freaking birthday is tomorrow (Tuesday) and you won't believe the amount of work that I did this weekend just so I could go out with friends and enjoy myself without thinking that I should be home studying!
What Bar are you studying for? I'm studying for the Illinois Bar (but I'm taking the BarBri class in St. Louis where I've been living for 4 years...thankfully...I've heard g-d awful things about taking the classes in Chicago in terms of stress levels and such).

Good luck to you all.
My brother-in-law tells of the summer day he took the Ohio Bar in an un-airconditioned room at Ohio State.
Temperature 90+ and high humidity -- with some kind of loud band playing elsewhere in the building.
He passed.

I had something of the opposite experience -- around 100 outside, but the air-conditioner was running so low inside, and we were dressed for summer weather, that I remember actually blowing on my hands and rubbing them together to keep them warm.
Good luck to everyone taking the exam!

The very best of luck.

Good luck to you all. I just took my LSAT a week ago and I know how hard I studied for that so I don’t even want to think about what it’s going to be like studying for the BAR.

The BF is starting the bar today....I got up early and made him blueberry pancakes this morning. When this is all over on Thursday we're going out with friends and he's getting plastered (I told him I would be DD).
Then it will be pins and needles until he gets the results in November!

If you're talking about the MBE portion...I'm totally with you!
In Illinois at least, I thought the Essays and MPT worked out MUCH better than I thought.
A few of my friends (one of whom finished #2 in our law school class) agreed that there were questions on the MBE that were WAY out in left field that neither BarBri nor PMBR covered. Which hopefully means we ALL got them wrong
