The Bar Exam
More Students Flunking It....
Instapundit links to an interesting article on the growing failure rate on state bar exams. As he would say...heh...
For the record, I worked full time as a Congressional Chief of Staff while studying for the bar exam and took no time off from work, save for the exam dates themselves. I actually think it helped me prepare as I did not have any time to be overwhelmed with the scope of information I could be tested on. I put in 20 hour days (five days a week..extra sleep on weekends) for about three months. I studied so hard I would hallucinate (which was quite cool)...and of course I passed on the first try....and then vowed never, ever to study that hard ever again. I've been doing my best to kill off my brain cells ever since!
