Get it. The bar is a beast, but you can absolutely kill it.

Understand that this summer, most of your focus will be in bar prep, but don't forget to pay attention to the little things. I took the exam with someone who flunked it due to a careless technicality on exam day 2.

The bar isn't a knowledge test, it's an endurance test. If you're in a ube state, practice writing 8 essays in a row and doing 400 MC questions in a row, so when you do 250 MC questions and 6 essays it feels like a breeze

I’m in the U.K. doing the SQE. It’s definitely a humiliation ritual. The first exam is over two days. 360 questions in total. 3 hours each. In an exam center where you aren’t even guaranteed silence because there’s people coming and going at all times. Did I mention you only get 3 chances?
