I_Lick_Lists: List of 10 Top Tips to Passing the Bar Exam, Drug Test, Etc.

Bar Exam-takers:

Take it from someone who passed the California Bar (1st try) but whose prospects were so dim his own mother couldn't hold back her look of surprise, here are a few tips as you go into the most important stretch of exam-studying, perhaps of your lives--if you want to add a Doomsday element to all the drama. For other non-Bar-takers,  abstraction should land you at an equally applicable list of general strategies, be it for your Chemistry final or that second-friday drug test. Here goes, in no particular order, and compiled with such authority it was executed in record ("Smokin'") time:

1. Don't think about consequences, as much as you can help it. This means no, "What will my Ma think?" drama.
2. Related to #1, don't study at your upcoming place of employment, even if they promise to leave you alone.
3. Get to the PMBR (practice exam) early to get the best seats near the aisle, by the door. Bring a sweater, as it's cold in those hotel cave-convention centers.
4. Leave PMBR early. Unless you were shocked by how badly you did, it's just not worth sitting through a recitation of all the answers, as written in the answer key. This advice only applies if you actually read the answers and understand them on your own time.
5. Never underestimate the ability of electronic devices to interrupt the actual test-taking process
