You did it!

We just wanted to take a minute to say CONGRATULATIONS to all those that wrote the bar exam this month! Preparing for the Ontario bar exam is a major draw on one’s time and energy and so, regardless of whether you think you passed or failed, you should feel proud about the dedication you exhibited.

ALSO, although this is easier said than done, try not to think about how you think you did over these next few weeks. What’s done is done—dwelling on something that happened in the past isn’t going to make you feel better. Instead, we recommend that you do your best to enjoy what’s left of summer with family and friends. Then, when you finally get a notification informing you that your test results are in, take a deep breath and remember that even if you don’t end up passing one or both exams, it’s NOT the end of the world. Not only can you always rewrite, but when you do rewrite, you’ll have already been through the process once before. In other words, you’ll know exactly what you’re walking into! We’re confident that, armed with this past knowledge and experience, you’ll find a way to pass on your second attempt! There’s therefore absolutely no reason to sweat!

Congratulations again, everyone! You’re now one step closer to achieving your dream of becoming a lawyer!
