Hey all,

I'm studying for the July bar exam and I'm checking all of the boxes for "at risk of failing." I almost failed out 1L year because of some personal and mental health issues that really distracted me. I feel like I'm at a disadvantage since I didn't learn like I should have during law school. I had 155 LSAT, and I'm finishing law school with around a 3.0 (I have a couple more grades to come in but prob not enough to make huge changes).

I tend to fail first and learn from my failures. I don't particularly want to do this for the bar exam. So, I'm hoping I can learn from other people's failures. I know so many amazing attorneys don't pass the first time, so it's not usually about intelligence. So, in your opinion, why do you think you didn't pass the first time around? What changes did you make to pass? Feel free to drop crazy weird situations, like your tire popped on the way to the exam and you just couldn't focus. I wanna hear about it.

TIA
