Update May 24

 I have continued to slog through the material. There is no way to remember all of this. Am I wasting my time reading this material? Should I just be figuring out a way to access it quickly?

Finally Finished Printing Material

 As an update, earlier today I finally finished printing the material for the bar exam. It cost 370$ to print. I was particular about the way I wanted it tabbed, and printed into booklets. I don't want to be having to go through two thousand pages at the time of the exam.  I didn't mention my big concerns in my previous post. The first concern I have is I saw a youtube video of some girl saying that she failed the bar exam three times!! That is frightening, i don't have the energy to retake these exams so often! I need to pass this exam! The second concern I have is that they say that the exam is based on long fact patterns which then require very specific answers which will be worded very similarly. How long will it take to read the question itself? If I have 60-100 seconds to read the question, how much of that time is going to be taken in the reading of the question?

I have to admit that I have mixed feelings about the exam. From what I understand it is the exams are 7 hours long, broken out into 2 sessions of 3.5 hours each with a lunch break in between the sessions. Each session of 3.5 hours has approximately 110-120 multiple choice questions, for a total of 220 – 240 multiple choice questions per exam. This means that I have approximately 1.75 minutes to answer each multiple choice question. All questions are in a multiple-choice format. The questions will include independent multiple-choice and case-based multiple-choice questions. The multiple-choice questions are grouped by topic. This means, for example, that all of the Civil Litigation questions will be together in the Barrister Exam and will not be spread throughout other sections of the exam. The only exceptions to this are ...
