I disagree, that's fun. Especially the court of appeals.
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Here is my Bar Exam advice:
Take it seriously-go to Barbri and pay attention. Hopefully your future employer is paying for it. If you do that and actually try to study a reasonable amount you will do fine. I treated it like a job. I went to Barbri in the morning and read the stuff in the afternoon, but after 5PM, I put it away and did not worry about it.
Second, relax. It is a minimum competency exam. The vast majority pass on the first try. Think of how many awful lawyers there are out there. They all passed. Odds are the dumbest kid in your class is going to pass, too.
Third, remember the goal is to pass, not to get an A. The top scorer gives a speach in Austin. Odds are you won't be that person, and you don't want to be anyway, so why bother trying?

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Good advice Dooby and I second it. The valedictorian of my law school class balked the first time she took the bar exam because she didn't know everything perfectly. Of course she's now a Federal judge and I'm just a lawyer. I had the joy of taking bar exams in three different jurisdictions VA, DC and FL. The other advice is pay close attention to the directions. In Virginia you are given one blue book and there are only sufficient pages to answer each question on one page (both sides). When one guy went up after an hour and asked for another blue book because he'd filled his up, the bar examiner just laughed at him. The other bar exam story is that I took the DC Bar exam in a bar because they ran out of space in the usual location.

The fire alarm went off during my bar exam. They would not let us leave.
I think most people that fail do so because they either (i) don't take it seriously; or (ii) they screw up the bubbling in of the multi-state multiple choice.
Oh, and indent often.
