Re: I failed the bar exam, what now?

First of all, I would asess what you really want to do. If you want to be a lawyer, take it again! PLENTY of people fail the bar on the first try, and then go on to be VERY successful lawyers. So, first of all, decide if you want to take it again, which I suggest you do (law school was the hard part, right?)

Then, I would not take BarBri or Pmbr again (since you did it once, you won't gain any new information) Instead, I would change your study habits. You can do this by consulting with a one on one tutor. I"m not sure where you live, but my company has in person tutors in Massachusetts, New York and California, and we do distance tutoring for all other states. I'm also sure there are other one on one tutors in other states. An individual tutor can guide you in studying smarter, becuase even if you put in a lot of time, you might not have studied correctly. I know this sounds crazy, but you'd be amazed at the difference a study technique makes in your success.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Good Luck - and definitely keep trying!
