An exam is one day, one moment in time. You may have a horrible headache, have eaten something bad the day before, probably a restless night right before, maybe the subject isn't one that inspires you and it affects your esteem and ability to use your knowledge on the spot... so many things can come and compromise your success.

Preparation is likely not one of them. Preparation isn't those weeks, months you spend hardcore going through your classes or mastering the details of the test before, of course those are nice, but they mostly are a safety blanket. Preparation are the years you've spent gathering the knowledge and know-how that make you able to sit this exam and claim it. Preparation is your entire life and how you'll connect with your subject matter, preparation is you wanting this for the right reasons, as a result of all your past work from the day you chose Law.

You have been preparing, you will be prepared when your time comes, all you need is to put yourself in the best conditions on the day and go for it. If you comply with the requirements to sit the exam you are not only prepared to take it, but also capable of passing. It's ok if you don't the first time, especially on such a big fish as the bar, but feeling not prepared? Actually sounds like being so Wishing you the best

Hopefully, your decision is supported by a combination of progressions and transits to what is "promised" in your natal chart, Randall.

For huge exams that you can elect to schedule, some people hire an astrologer with expertise in Electional Astrology. It's like an astrologer who plans weddings, or surgery dates and times.

Might be worth the money to you?.. and Peace of Mind.

I think this is so important that you are really really grounding what you know.

With transiting Neptune traveling through your 7th House of Lawyers at this time, if your Law Firm is geared towards serving with humanitarian-focus you are more apt to attract co-Laborers with inspired and heart-dedicated intent. The shadow side of Neptune would be when folks are trying to be greedy, sneaky, deceptive, and want to steal what you have.

It's kind of unfortunate that tNeptune arrived to your 7th House of Partnerships, WHILE you are trying to determine who the Right people should be, to work alongside you. tNeptune can be like having blinders on.

And like I said-- IF your 'intent' is more towards the true Serving of Humanity, then the Higher side of Neptune is invoked.

Neptune can bring human-angels to labor alongside you.

Until you really really 'know' what you want, which direction your Heart is in, be wary of those who bring you 'deals'. Shiny objects. WHO are they "really"??

You need some good outside assistance--
so you avoid some astrological pitfalls?
Get thee to a high-quality Professional astrologer, who is grounded, has a good reputation, mature and WELL-experienced with decades in the field of Electional Astrology (as well as Business too-- you might want to include that).

Spending that consultation money up-front, (with an experienced professional, specialized, competent astrologer), your investment can earn-back its reward, when you look back and realize later. Avoid pitfalls.

Always Wishing you THE BEST, Randall.

Unfortunately, the Bar exam is only twice a year.

Twice a year.. ?
Did it already happen in the past few days?
When will you sit for it?

There will be a stellium of planets occupying Virgo in 2nd half of August.

Jupiter, the Law Planet, stations Direct in Sagittarius, on Sunday, Aug 11.

I once listened to a vid on an astrologer's strategy on taking tests-- Can make approach to answering test questions by the "mood" of the Moon and the element and sign she's in that day.

How long until you find out?
Would you be told what kind of questions tripped you up, and what you were really good at?

I hope that your 'feeling' as though you hadn't done well, has evidence otherwise. *fingers crossed*

You're a Top student. You won that award.
Sometimes.. very conscientious people who study hard can feel as though they have never prepared enough?

Stay Chill..

How's your mom doing?

Progressions and transits may reveal a (natal promise) fear of failure; fear of success OR something else.

So ... this is an opportunity for self-discovery ... and choosing whether to explore or not explore it (via a retrospective review) is a crossroads decision that will impact upon your future.

Agreed! Thank you. In this case, I don't think it was a fear of failure or one of success. I just knew I'd fail, so I wanted more time to study to ensure that I don't have to endure it more than once.

From what I heard about this exam from the takers, it was the right decision. They pulled out some obscure topics that we didn't even study in prep.

Did they give you a 'hint' of what those were?

The Bar examiners never give hints. The test takers told me the subjects. I expect a higher than normal percentage to fail. Which, hopefully, will make the February exam a little easier (or rather with more typical subjects).

The percentage pass rate will be an astrological "event" from which you can assess the validity of your decision to not sit the exam due to not being adequately prepared.

In effect, because of the obscure topics in the papers, many of those who did sit the exam were unprepared. So, you had as much chance of passing as them. And, if the percentage failure rate turns out to not be higher than normal, you might have been one of those whom the examiners put through because "the student displayed a sound understanding of the basic principles involved, despite the topic being something that is unlikely to have been covered in the classroom".

Graham.. yes wow, that's a good point.

"displayed a sound understanding of the basic principles involved, despite the topic being something that is unlikely to have been covered in the classroom"

Education and training exercises are not necessarily for data-collection and the spewing back of words and facts. It's about awakening an ability or talent found underneath all of that... For sure, not every client with a problem would present with a 'cookie cut-out' recipe-based map to follow to solve their legal problems.

When you've absorbed what they taught you, it's a combination of the inner-instincts, with knowledge-trivia (not just in law, but in Life!), that can come through in a crunch with a glaring out-of-the-box solution!

That, exactly. Lots of factors, preparation ends up being quite subjective. And yup, a good exam (and you have to hope Law is one of those fields that still has them), isn't about jumping through hoops like a corporate lapdog, it involves a genuine reflexion and integration of the subject's tenets. Probably why such subjects happen when it's not about what you did in classroom strictly.
