@MrsMcD: IMO, they're all hard . . . I haven't taken any and thought, oh yeah, that wasn't so bad! (and there are several states with 3-day exams . . . !)

@NorCalWayfarer: I basically had this list memorized in the homestretch!

Gutted for you! I can only imagine how difficult it is to study, be a parent, and work at the same time. Gosh! Here's hoping you can take a little break before starting studying again. Keep us posted!

Oh, I'm so, so sorry. When I took my law exams (it was the institute of legal executives exams in the UK), only one person in my class passed first time. You will pass next time.

@MsLipGloss: Mine was a 3-day exam! To say I buckled down during studying is an understatement.

Thank you all for your words of encouragement!
I will definitely consider re taking it, but just so disappointed now

@Mrsbells: Are you considering "not" retaking it?

@Mrsbells: ((hugs)) The bar exam is a bitch. Period. The good thing is you can take it again. You know the material, it was just an off time. I would sign up for February while it's still fresh. You WILL get this! Take tonight to just get all those emotions out. Tomorrow is a new day.

I'm so sorry to hear about that. I can completely understand that "stinging" feeling of disappointment. It's paralyzing in some ways and while it's awful, try not to be so hard on yourself. The NY bar is one of the toughest. Take good care of yourself!

So sorry I am sure it is so much work! Take a little break and you'll be refreshed for next time!

I'm very sorry to hear this. I think you should persevere and re-take it. You've come SO far and worked so hard! And to do it all while working and with a child...I can't imagine how rough that must have been. Don't let this temporary set-back get you down!

Dont feel bad. I failed a majorly hard exam my first time too but there is a reason why they make them so hard. Better luck next time!

Ugh, sorry you didn't pass this time around. I have a friend who is on his 3rd or 4th round of trying to pass Cali's bar exam. Have you considered doing a Kaplan course or something similar? Don't give up!

I'm sorry to hear. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to study while working full-time and taking care of LO.

So sorry to hear, but don't bear yourself up about it, although I understand the disappointment. My brother failed his bar once before passing..a few of his friends failed twice. He did Barbri and went through it again before passing. You can do it!

My friend who failed the NY bar the first time joined a study group. He said it was part study, part support group b/c so many people fail the first time! It's notoriously tough. You'll get it next time!

Thank you all so much, you all really made me feel much better.
