Bar results out next week 😬 Apparently my class had a 97% pass rate (for the TX bar), but I’m still so stressed out omg. Did 100% of BarBri and tons of practice questions, but idk, I just didn’t feel all that good about a lot of that exam. Please give me hope 😭

If your class has a 97% passage rate and you did 100% of barbri, then believe me, you passed. You took studying seriously which is the most important part and a great metric in determining whether someone passed or not. Most of us have the same feeling following the bar exam. I am confident you passed. Hope this encourages you.

Imagine how much worse you’re going to feel if you’re in the 3% minority that failed…

Totally normal feeling. I had nightmares that I failed for a month leading up to and after results came out. You're having trouble now, but it will get better later. If you pass, you go to work. If you fail, do the next thing.

I think you should be good. Had a classmate that failed because she forgot to submit the written portion via internet after the first day of exams. A few others failed also, but not sure for what reason(s).

Point is, most of yall are smart enough to pass of you put in the work. If you don’t have a major life event or reason that took you away from your studies, I think you will be fine.

You need a D- to pass the bar. Trust that you achieved that bare minimum. (I know it was a very difficult exam and I panicked hard until the day I found out I passed). This is the mindset.

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
