🤫Shhh…Quiet please, simulated bar exam in progress ⚖️ 📝

Today, FAMU juris doctor graduates are taking a simulated exam for Bar Prep. Taking practice tests in an exam setting helps build mental and physical endurance, improve time management, assess knowledge, strengthens confidence, and more.

The simulated exam is part of the Academic Success and Bar Preparation Department’s R.I.S.E. Program (Resources for Increasing Success on Exams). The comprehensive academic success program integrates bar exam readiness throughout the entire law school experience, beginning in the first year and continuing through post-graduation bar preparation. 📚

Also, part of today’s preparation, the Counseling Services Department staff was available before the simulated exam, to offer a mindfulness activity to help graduates with relaxation. 🌿

We are proud of the dedication, diligence, and perseverance our graduates continue to demonstrate in preparation for their next important milestone. 🎓 🧡💚
