Meet the Team
We can’t wait to see your enthusiastic “I just passed the bar exam” selfie and your official LinkedIn update. In the meantime, you’ve got work to do to prepare – and we’re here to help you have the most successful bar prep experience possible.
Our Helix Directors are dedicated individuals who, just like you, went to law school and studied for a bar exam. (And they all passed, too!) So, whether you’re excited to get started, are struggling to figure out where to begin, have a question about IRAC-ing an essay, or need some reassurance to put the pause on your panic, your Helix Director is standing by to help. Join them in a weekly webinar, schedule a one-on-one coaching session, or just reach out. They’ll be there.
Remember to: Prepare your friends and family for what the bar exam entails. If you can, start studying early. And if you work full-time, be sure to take time off in the last few weeks."
Start each day with a promise to do your best. And at the end of the day, be confident you did just that. Studying in law school and for the bar exam is an emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical journey. Being kind to yourself will produce the biggest return in your professional and personal journey".
Faith. Focus. Finish. Have faith in the bar prep process. Focus on running your own race. Finish strong!"
Seek to understand the rules – when you understand a rule, you are better able to recall it when you need it. Remember, take one step at a time. One day at a time."
Stay positive and don’t forget to take care of yourself while you study! The bar exam is a journey, taking care of yourself will set you up for success while studying and on test day!”
Make sure to incorporate breaks into your schedule. You will feel more energized and engaged while studying if you give yourself time to relax or do something you enjoy!"
Trust the process. You successfully got into law school and successfully graduated law school, which shows you can conquer just about anything! Study hard, follow your plan, and you’ll be licensed before you know it."
Don’t let your insecurities or anxiety get the better of you. When you get frustrated, don’t give up! Take a breath, take a walk, take a break. Then take a seat and try again. You’ve got this!"
Study your own way. Make flashcards, stick Post-its to your wall, draw a map, highlight. Whatever worked for you in law school should work for you on the bar. Have a tried and true method? Stick with it!"
Don’t let yourself become overwhelmed with all the content you need to learn. Take a step back and identify the one topic you’re going to focus on at that moment. Tune everything else out and focus on that topic. The rest will fall into place after that."
