@lauraevf1968 The worst is having dreams about the exam and then second guessing the answers you put down.

Brianna Hill, a recent law school graduate in Chicago, thought she might be going into labor as she took the bar exam. She did not leave her chair.

She knew leaving could have disqualified her. https://t.co/jGumY3lWOu

@derp_lord89 @gia_grimm_ I agree, that is a pretty big adjustment. I like being able to draw and underline and write notes while I answer questions. The pen or pencil to paper help trigger my memory. Clicking with a mouse doesn't help me recall much information. It's a tough change.

[BarExamBlitz @BarExamBlitz]

@gia_grimm_ Wow. They won't let you any scratch paper? That is crazy. How are you supposed to diagram a question or cross out answers you deem are wrong before selecting a correct answer?

I would struggle. I need to underline and x out wrong answers in order to get to the correct answer.

Con Law - Power of Congress - Remember, the Necessary and Proper power of Congress must be used with another congressional power such as (commerce power, taxing and spending power, war power, etc.).

It is not a stand-alone power.

Con Law - Hint
1. Strict Scrutiny - Burden on the government (Law is normally struck down).

2. Intermediate Scrutiny - Burden on the government.

3. Reasonable Basis - Burden on the challenger not the gov (Law is usually upheld).

@christinafotios We all felt the same way! But, all the information is jumbled around in your head and by the time you sit for the bar, the information will come out.
Just don't panic, if you can't remember a rule on an essay question, make one up based on the facts and provide good analysis.

Con Law - An easy way to distinguish between Substantive Due Process (SDP) and Equal Protection (EP), is that SDP is triggered when a right of everyone is burdened while EP is triggered when a class of people are discriminated against.
