<p>About the bar exam (so you can become a practicing attorney)–we were told & have shared with others that it can be helpful to think of it as just a huge (& important) pass/no pass exam. You don’t have to ace it or strive to do it perfectly, just pass. Seen in that perspective, it does take some of the pressure off.</p>
<p>Law schools will share the pass rates for their students. Many folks pass the exam the 1st time they take it, while others take it more than once. The # of times an individual needs to take the bar exam before passing doesn’t necessarily reflect on how well (or poorly) an individual will do in the practice of law.</p>
