If you did not pass the Bar Exam this time, do not despair. There are PLENTY of successful attorneys that did not pass their first time around. So, if you were unsuccessful, before you start to study again, there are a few things to consider
1) stop and think about how you studied in the past. And don't just say "Oh, I took Barbri" or "I reviewed my notes". Stop and REALLY assess your study habits
2) Think about what you can do differently. Chances are, if you didn't pass, it's not because of lack of skill or intelligence, but rather, you either didn't study the correct way OR the study methods you used didn't work for you, since everybody learns in a different way.
If a large group setting didn't work for you the first time, try an individual tutor, which can guide you through a study plan, and assist you in figuring out what went wrong the first time.
The company I work for, LawTutors, LLC, (
www.lawtutors.net) has offices in MA, NY and CA, but other similar companies have offices in other states as well.
If you have any questions, let me know!
