Mr. Bar Exam: The Perpetual Groundhog Day Loop of Bar Study

Studying for the bar exam feels like you're trapped in a perpetual Groundhog Day loop. Is there anything that can be done?

Staci here. As a frequent bar exam studier, I can tell you that the routine gets really old, really quickly. A day in the life of your average bar exam studier goes something like this: Wake up. Class. Library. Study. Cry. Drink. Rinse. Repeat. It’s a terrible, terrible time in law school graduates’ lives, and unfortunately there’s not much that can be done to avoid the epic monotony.

But in the meantime, there are other important things to focus on, like the upcoming practice MBE. How can you balance your studies without freaking out? Let’s see what Mr. Bar Exam has to say….


Mr. Bar Exam is Sam E. Goldberg. He’s worked for the Howard Stern Show, where he appeared on the weekly intern show and spoke about gossip, and Maxim Radio, where he did man-on-the-street interviews and spoke regularly with the hosts of the show. Sam previously launched the S&M radio show (S&M stood for Sam and Michelle), and spoke about pop culture, with celebrity appearances such as Kim Kardashian. When he got kicked off the air on college radio, the show was picked up by Idobi radio, an iTunes radio show. Sam is a recent law school graduate. His full biography is available at Mr. Law School.
