I always tell
my students that studying for the bar is more like a marathon than a
sprint. I want you to compare it to your favorite sport that you
play. Do you remember how hard it was to pick it up in the
beginning? You had to keep at it and practice every day before you
started to improve and get better at your game. You worked at that game
until you became a true proficient at it.
That game you
mastered long ago is similar to how you must master and pass the bar
exam. Every day you chip away at the large amount of material, taking
manageable bites until you have mastered that bite and go onto the next
one. As someone has once said, how do you eat an elephant – with one bite
at a time. In other words, take smaller sections of the vast material,
learn it and then take another section of the bar exam and learn that section,
until, before you know it, you have learned the law, practiced your questions
and are ready to sit for the bar exam.
Always stay in
the moment of that day, because if you look too far ahead, you will waste
precious time worrying about the large amount of material you must learn or how
fast the time is ticking before the bar exam.
I tell my
students that taking the bar exam is not a sprint. You cannot do
everything in one day. Do not drive yourself to exhaustion thinking that
you must skip meals, skip the gym, skip sleeping in order to prepare yourself
for the bar exam. You cannot run down your body or your mind. Take
regular breaks so that you can come back refreshed and ready to learn.
Remember, it
was the tortoise that won the race, and not the hare. And to quote the
tortoise, “slowly does it every time”.
The bar exam is
a marathon, not a sprint.
