The February bar exam is approaching next week in most jurisdictions. Cram time is over, but you cannot take your foot off the gas quite yet. It is time to eat well, sleep well, and fill those gaps in
your knowledge base, especially in your essays. Push the protein, blueberries and fruit, and shy away from the junk food and soda (good advice for after the exam, too!)
For your MBE problem areas, it is much better at this point to narrow down to two answers, guess,
and quickly move on. Mark the question as one you want to go back to, if you have time.
For essays, focus on making sure you are reasonably competent in each testable subject. You will likely not excel on all questions, but you do not need to in order to achieve your goal: to pass!
On the subjects that give you the most trouble, focus on issue spotting rather than writing full formal essays now, to maximize your points.
Write terse sentences and do not neglect grammar and neatness. A well-organized answer that uses proper grammar often receives a higher score than a poorly-organized one with marginal grammar that raises more issues.
If you have not already done so, *please* make a dry run of the testing facility, NOW. Do not visit the testing facility for the first time on exam day.
