Decided to be insane and take another state's bar exam so I'm sitting for J26. Instead of being smart and studying in March or early April, I basically started in the beginning of May (yes I'm still kicking myself). I work full time in a very stressful area of law and I come home feeling like living death pretty much daily. Idk why I thought this would be manageable. Also panicking about the fact that I feel like I'm retaining nothing, running out of time, and can basically only study 3-4 hours during the weekday.

Really want to commiserate with anyone else working full time but also would love to hear success stories from people who worked full time and passed! Study tips, study schedules, etc. I passed UBE J25 but feel like it's a whole different animal now.

Registered to sit for only part A this July. I started studying 4/30. I work full time so really can only study 3-4 hours during the week and grind on the weekends. I'm already kicking myself for not starting in March or April.

I bought the Grossman what's the issue videos and the bar exam masters multiple choice + flashcards bundle. I know I just started but I'm already panicking that these two things aren't enough. The material seems so difficult.

Anyone only rely on what's the issue and BEM and pass Part A successfully? I also have the Themis hard copy outlines but am really struggling to justify the price for the entire Themis program...would love to hear if it was actually beneficial or not
