Think of it this way.
Your average college test is 1 to 1.5 hours. Law school is about the same. Each test is one topic. If you schedule it right, you have 3 to 5 days between tests so you can keep one topic in your head at any given moment. Once you’re done, you get to rest and prepare for the next one. Purge the old, cram the impending.
The bar is 2 or 3 days of testing, usually 2 blocks of 3.5 hours with a lunch break. You have to know 7 or 8 topics well enough to answer hundreds of questions and write essays analyzing multiple issues. You get done at 4, eat, rest, and then you’re at it again. No time to purge because you don’t know what order they will come and just not enough time.
It’s not hard but you need to be physically and mentally ready for the grind.
Law school doesn’t prepare you for the bar. It’s there to teach you how you don’t know anything and to support all your assertions and analysis before you arrive at a conclusion.
You pay Barbri to prepare you for the bar.
