Contemplating the Bar Exam

I spent my weekend taking a grueling thirteen-hour class on how to apply for and prepare for the bar exam, so I'm good and scared now. The bar exam tests a dozen subjects, three or four of which I didn't study at all in school. I'll have about two months after graduation to learn those subjects and relearn the ones I studied two years ago. In Arkansas, about 75% of bar takers pass.
As part of the class we watched the documentary A Lawyer Walks Into a Bar . . ., which I can recommend as entertaining whether you're going to sit for the bar or not (pro tip: you can watch it instantly on Netflix!).
