Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox Podcast. Today, we’re here with Ariel Salzar, one of our most experienced bar exam tutors, discussing the top 5 mistakes students consistently make when studying for the bar exam.

In this episode, we discuss:

The biggest mistake – failing to practice enough under exam conditions – and what "exam conditions" actually means
Why “minimum competency” does NOT mean you don’t have to know the law that well
The danger of not identifying and working on your problem areas – you only learn by doing that which makes you uncomfortable
How students fail to make the material their own – you don’t need to follow your standard bar prep program lock-step
Memorization – the key to bar exam success is in the details
Ariel shares a couple of her top tips for passing the bar
