What is the waiting game?

Each year thousands of students graduate from each of Virginia's law schools with hopes of passing the dreaded bar exam.  No matter what school you attend or what job awaits, we all face THE WAITING GAME.  That is the time between the bar exam and the results.

Most of us will think this is the easy part. Well I have news for you: IT'S NOT!  If you have a job, failure may cause you to lose it.  If you don't have a job, failure limits your search. If you have the privilege of taking the exam in the Commonwealth, your success is posted on the bar exam website. (It your name is not posted you failed!)

This is a lot to process.  The purpose of this blog is to give you a heads up on what to expect.  It comes from a second time test taker. (Yes! I failed.) I survived the public humilitation of failing.  I hope it doesn't happen to you, but it does not hurt to prepare.  My process for dealing with the countdown and aftermath doesn't help for everyone, but I hope it helps you to create your own.  

33 days to the results are released!
