writing,and it differs in key waysfrom law school exam writing.  \n·Bar reading and its relationship to bar writing  \nPrevious chapters discussed many success factors,including planning,preparing,knowing what to expect,protecting your time,and learning the law.In this chapter,I will present strategies for effectively completing your bar review course work and,specifically,for tackling practice exams.(The information in this chapter will helpyouknow what to expect and get ready for intensive bar prep;it gives you a head start.The information in this chapter complements but is not a substitute for bar review.)This is the hardest chapter of all.It contains the toughest advice to give regardingthe most difficult stage of bar prep.Why?You have done your planning and mappedout your study schedule.From here on,it is just plain hard work—the “heavy lifting”phase.Consider the words ofJohn Quincy Adams:“Patience and perseverance have amagical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.”  \nThink of this training as you would preparation for sports.You must correctlyand completely assess what you are doing now and understand where you need toimprove.(Picture an athlete watching replays of recent matches,assessing where shecan improve her game.)Self-assessment is critical.And after you self-assess,you musttake affirmative steps to implement any changes that are necessary.  \nCompleting practice questions without assessing your performance is what I call\"Doing the Ostrich.”It's like the person who thinks bad news willgo away ifhe or shejust ignores it.Not true.Recognize your strengths,and directly face your weaknesses.Do not put your head in the sand.Seize these precious opportunities(after completingpractice exams)to improve.  \nThe road to success is yours,but only if you drive.Don’t be the passive passenger.Take control.Get to work.After you read this chapter,review your study plan.Makesure it includes sufficient uninterrupted time blocks for taking and self-assessing prac-tice tests on top of the time you will need for bar review lectures.And protect thattime.Don't be seduced into thinking that passively attending bar review is enough.It isn't.  \nThe months of bar prep will fy by.You will be entering the exam room before youknow it.How you choose to spend the months prior to the bar will determine howyou go in—confidently,knowing you have done everything in your power to achievesuccess,or sheepishly,knowing you could have done more.It's your choice.  \nPASSING THE BAR EXAM REQUIRESKNOWLEDGE,SKILL,AND TRAINING.  \n·You must know andunderstand the legal rules and principles tested on the exam.  \n·You must be skilled in what I call active “bar reading”(described in the followingsections),clear and effective writing,analytical and logical reasoning,and timemanagement.Bar reading is thefrst and most critical of these skills,for obviousreasons:fyou are not reading correctly and understanding everything you read,  \nyour analysis wilbe off,usually leading to incorrect or incomplete conclusions.When you fail to read criticaly you missor misinterpret key words,assumeinformation that isnt provided in the question,and make other egregious(yetwholly preventable)erors,crors you zould not bacve made had you read carefullyenough.  \n·You must prepare,taking
