One thing I think students underestimate during the final month of bar prep

At first, bar prep feels like a learning problem.

By the final month, it often becomes more of a retrieval and prioritization problem.

A lot of people seem to hit the point where:

  • everything starts blending together
  • they keep encountering new material
  • they feel behind no matter how much they study
  • confidence drops even when performance is objectively okay

One thing that surprised me is how many people who ultimately passed still felt convinced they weren’t ready.

Curious whether other people experienced something similar.
