Thanks for this advice. I passed MA and will sit for NY in February. I'm nervous, but not nearly as nervous as I was for MA. I know it's in God's hands, and I will do my part and let him do his part. For first time takers, the key is not to overly stress yourself. Trust me, this will cause you to fail. I don't care what anyone says, the bar exam tests your confidence as much as it tests your ability to "reason" (whatever that means these days)! Many people who fail say "I wrote those issues, how come I didn't pass?" The truth is, it's not "what you say" but "how you say it." Bar examiners are looking for a specific style of writing not just simple issue spotting (although spotting issues is very important). I will have more later!
