“Yes, it’s true life can get in the way of the bar. But if you have a chance to give the exam everything you got regardless, please do not give into fear or doubt like I did. Seize the opportunity when you have it.”
“I came to the understanding I wanted to be able to have gone through . . . enough practice essays for every topic that there wouldn’t be anything that blindsided me.”

Joe

Weakness: Essays (MEEs)
Unique challenge: Essay topics that were new to him, started preparation with 7 weeks to go
“I really wasn’t pulling together essays until after I spent a lot of time, specifically with your Approsheets. I did that for most of the essay subjects, especially the ones that I didn’t have any contact with, and I really saw myself picking up a lot more issues that way and scoring a lot higher. After that, I think that’s when I finally, finally started to feel like there’s a chance I was gonna pull it off.”
