My Experience with the Bar Exam

[@sasuke3690]

I’m from Ontario starting my first year at law school and you’re god sent thankyou🙏🏽 😭❤️❤️

[@solarflower2464]

You have no idea how good this is making me feel after I had a sobbing ugly cry breadown 20 mins ago.Thank you, made me feel less alone

[@hermionechan702]

Somehow your video are always uploaded when I’m doubting myself. You are my inspiration and motivation 😊

I wrote the Paralegal Licensing Exam (Ontario) and it was the exact same experience (except we only have the one exam - not two). It was a 7 hour day with TONS of ethics/professionalism questions - SO DEFINITELY KNOW YOUR RULES AND BY LAWS!!. Definitely spent the most time memorizing the structure of my materials - being able to flip to the exact section with ease. I put my materials into 2 large binders (I would recommend what Lynnea did and cerlox bind by subject). Another thing I did was use post it flags with handwritten labels on them (because I was cheap and did not want to buy dividers lol and I alreadty had these flags from school) but it worked great - because since I had written them out by hand I retained the muscle memory of what I had flagged). And it was very aesthetically pleasing for me because I had colour coded them by area of law. **IMPORTANT NOTE** The exam isn't random. It goes section by section. The only thing "random" would be the ethics/rules based questions. But otherwise you will have a limited number of questions per area of law. Which was great because I knew that in the second part I would not get a question on the areas that were covered in the first part. It is exhausting like Lynnea said but it is such a rush finishing.

Congrats! Totally agree with what you said about highlighting. Did that in one material but didn't get the idea of it, or why I was doing it. It didn't maximize the amount of info digested or accumulated through my studies. 😅

[@pinkladies139]

Preparing for the Ontario Bar Exam right now, although circumstances are a bit different due to Covid. But I really appreciate your tips!

[@AshishSharma-tf7hx]

Now they aren't 7 hours 😓😓 Just 4 Hours

[@ramyelshammah6210]

This is sooooooo helpful, thank you! I'm writing both in March 2021, I just have a couple questions! - Did you take notes at all while reading the materials? Or did you not bother knowing that it's more about being able to find material vs. learning it. - What websites/platforms did you buy your index/practice exams from? Thanks!!!

[@avery_k1m]

Awesome to see you back again!! I hope you can make a vlog on how you days are going these days!

[@jipmip2332]

Hey, you should make a video on your experience with the LSAT! :D

[@gitaarXS]

I don't even have to take a bar exam (I still don't really know why we don't have them in the Netherlands) but you still interest me for 25 min talking about it. Your tips are very well put together and honest, and are also helpful for any other major exam really. Sidenote: you really are a law student when you start your video with a disclaimer, that made me giggle a bit :)

[@jeremybrodeur-urbas5216]

Not writing the bar anytime soon, but happy that this exists. Your videos are fantastic, thanks for making them

[@Despination1]

Miss your videos so much!

[@omarslaptop4878]

Take a shot every time she says "my cameras gonna die"

[@harmanbath9657]

Thank you for this! Quick question, how long did you spend reading per day (per page?).

[@HaHaLooLoo]

writing next month.. thanks for making this :) you helped out a lot of people!

[@henryxpimentel]

Hey Lynnea, how is the job search after the bar exam? I'm a bit discouraged that I won't be able to find anything if I end up having a mediocre resume and there is an abundance of new lawyers each year looking for a job as well

[@lynnea4782]

Henry Pimentel I’m currently articling, so I’m not job hunting right now. Try not to be discouraged. It is quite competitive, but there are jobs out there. You just have to make yourself stand out-show what you can offer that no one else can. Best of luck, I’m sure it’ll all work out!!

[@DavidRodriguez-dy1er]

Tons of work in small towns, specially if you're willing to start your own practice.

[@tylerbrown8323]

Do have do to a lot of writing in law school? Like papers or essays, even if your courses have 100% finals???

[@randymortensen9938]

Great run-through and tips on the bar exam. So questions about articling. Umm....what exactly is articling and what does your day entail when you are articling?

[@mirzamuntasir9408]

@Lynnea, the video is really helpful. Can you suggest some tips on how to get better at finding the things in the material? Thanks in advance.

[@workpulkit]

What legal tabs did you use ? What all stationary items you used (stick-on, etc) ,can you specify ?

[@aashaymistry8525]

Plz make vlog of your daily work and rutine

[@Динара-х3д]

Lynnea, thank you for your video! I find it very encouraging and supportive. Do you know any foreign lawyers who has successfully passed the Canadian bar exam? I mean the ones who are from entirely different part of the world and not native English speakers.

[@alphakenny1471]

Missed ya! 💛 hope your doing good!

[@lynnea4782]

Alpha kenny Thank you, I hope you are too!

[@yosemite735]

Wow! So much easier. In the US, we have to take the bar in two days back to back. You better know your sh*t. It would be so nice to have it on two days weeks apart.

[@morsinvicta]

So there's no training period in Canada? In Greece there's an obligatory 18 month training period after graduation, before one can sit the bar exam and become a licensed lawyer 😪

[@teanns.7819]

morsinvicta in Canada they have the same thing its called articling . It's about 10 months

[@audreyb.2494]

In quebec we have to go to the bar school during 4 months or 8 months after graduating from law school before we can do the bar exam. It depends of the province where you are doing the bar exam

[@reneev.mueses2980]

Very helpful, thank you. ♡

[@ariforrahman1145]

Is there no math in bar exam?

[@kotkafis]

were the new video?

[@Cyrano263]

Why did i not get a notif 🤨 Definitely going to check that video later though, nice to see you're back

[@pokerchannel6991]

If you finish the test early, should u sleep in place and go back and review the test?

[@markruffolo9724]

Can confirm. Great video, great advice!

[@stealthfreak2535]

Watching this while I have the barristers next week and solicitors in 3 weeks lol

[@ripujit10]

Thank you .... this was great !

[@pokerchannel6991]

I think it is better to just do the targeted study that targets the most frequently tested material and not read as much. thx.

[@akashtandoori]

Wonderful Tips indeed!

[@Esse110]

Great tips! Thank you for this video❤️

[@mudeoksenpai8380]

Dude u just rock, your videos helped me aloot,God Bless u,,😊

[@rbbrum110]

So, do lawyers make good money?

[@ameliegiroux9760]

What school do you go to? Do you speak french?

[@aashaymistry8525]

Are you doing job now a days?

[@renzoachavictorero6937]

Hi from Peru. Great tips

[@farzamkhizar]

After taking the bar exam, what would be a good grade on it? What would be the best mark that helps you get a job afterwards?

[@lynnea4782]

Farzam Khizar The bar exam is actually pass/fail. If you pass, you don’t get any information on how you did. If you fail, I think they tell you what sections you did poorly in so you can improve.

[@hudaifahassan6373]

You made my day! Hi From Doha Qatar! :)
