Hi all! Incoming first year here. I just sat for the NY Bar and walked out knowing I failed. I’ve been studying for two and a half months and felt as knowledgeable as someone who walked in and decided to take the bar exam on a whim. I’ve cycled through all the stages of grief (anger, humiliation, depression) and am now trying to figure out how this works. My firm allows us a few weeks of paid leave to re-take it in Feb. Any advice from re-takers would be wonderful, because clearly I didn’t get it the first time around. Thank you in advance!
* Obligatory disclaimer that I know everyone walks out thinking they failed … I am not one of those because I walked out KNOWING I failed.
