You get points for almost anything on the essays, including made up law and outlining. I passed with a healthy margin and my last essay was only headings and introductory sentences (NY JX)
Stay encouraged and remain focused. Try to avoid mass cramming. Know your study limits. If there’s a topic or concept you do not understand, go back and review it. Then try some practice questions regarding that topic. Don’t focus on how others are performing! That’s a distraction!
The majority of people pass :)
Don’t study the day before the bar. If you don’t know it by then you never will. Don’t talk to anyone about the test questions during or after you can’t change anything and it’s just going to make you second guess yourself. Get a hotel room within walking distance of the testing center if you’re not already within a 10 minute drive. Why risk unexpected traffic?

1) Don’t be afraid to go moneyball math up the exam. In Georgia it turns out that the 4 essays are only worth about 5% each, where the MPTs are 15% each.
2) read some model exam answers, if your state has them. They sound like they were written by drunk monkeys. You too can reach “drunk monkeys” standards with rules you just made up.
3) MBE is just about reps on questions. You’ll see your score creep up over the next few weeks as bar prep focuses more and more on the questions you routinely get wrong - you’ll start getting more right.
4) Day of, I just did bullet points on one MPT and basically wrote “idk what you’re on about” on an essay sub-question and still passed by a wide margin. If you’ve studied hard, you’ll be fine.
5) it never feels like you’ll be fine. This is normal.
The capacity of people to grow, learn, and achieve is quite simply amazing. You are a capable person who will achieve what you want to achieve. Do what is necessary and under your control and there is no point worrying about things outside of your control. Plus in a couple weeks it will all be over! Good luck!
Do what you can to study — the bar is no joke — but don’t beat yourself up too much if things don’t go as planned.
I didn’t study like I was supposed to and left a lot for the last week but then my dog died and I watched Netflix and cried in bed instead, ended up cramming well past midnight the night before (and still didn’t finish), totally missed an entire essay question, and still passed. (CA).
Whatever happens, you will be okay
