Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! It's the season for bar results, and we've been talking with bar takers who didn't pass this time. Today, we've compiled a list of common questions we get about about score reports, next steps, and getting mentally ready to study again.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Where to focus your study time
- Deciding when to retake the bar exam
