The latest tweets and Facebook status updates are reflecting the anxiety and stress of the bar exam week. The exam can last anywhere from two to three days depending on the state you take it in. Furthering aggravating the stress is that in some states, such as California, you don’t get the results until Thanksgiving weekend!

In retrospect, I wish I had the confidence during the exam to go and exercise or get a massage during the breaks and at night. I was one of those nervous nellies that brought the review materials to the damn testing center and studied obsessively until the proctor called us into the exam room.

For those taking the exam this week, finishing the exam is just the last leg of the law journey as you still have four months to wait before results will come out. Just keep in mind that it is the last leg and congrats on getting into law school, completing law school, finishing your bar review course, and still maintain your sanity for the bar exam. The reward at the end is phenomenal. Good luck!
