As I recall I finished Bar Review and the bar exam was a few months away. I decided that I was going to study every day, all day long, once Bar Review was over. Then I'd wake up each morning and goof off, and not do much of anything day in day out, other than worry about the fact that I wasn't studying. Finally I realized that I just wasn't going to study at all until closer to the exam. That took a load off my mind, as then I was able to spend the days going to the gym or whatever and not keep thinking that I should be studying.
I stayed in touch with some of my professors via email, and one of them kept saying that she would have no sympathy for me if I didn't get going with the studying.
Just two weeks before the exam I poured it on and started going to the library and sitting there studying all day, every day. I liked the library because it was quiet and I knew I'd study once I got there. Mostly I used flash cards with whatever I wanted to memorize written on the back, until I knew it all cold. Keep in mind that the CA bar exam is three days and the hardest in the country. Compare to most other states where the bar exam is a relative cake walk.
I am sure I did well, even though they don't tell us what our exact score was, as you know, just pass fail, but one of my answers was picked as a model answer so I know I must have done well.
Afterwards I emailed that professor and asked her how her boy had done, I actually used more or less those exact words because there was this kiss ass in her class that was her favorite that she used to always champion, and she had already mentioned to me in more than one email that he had been studying hard and long, saying that I should be doing the same. I already knew that he had failed, and not only rubbed that in her face but indirectly asked her out in the same email. She was actually quite hot. She never wrote back to me.
