How well you performed
	The bar passage level set by the state, and
	Who you are taking the bar with (For instance, if most other students are studying 10-12 hours per day and not working and you are not, then you automatically place yourself at a disadvantage.

The bar is a device to control entry into the bar.

Consequently, states that have "too many lawyers" will set their bar passage level low. For instance, states like California and Oregon can have bar passage rates as low as 50%, while in other states you could have a bar passage rate as high as 90+ %. Furthermore, as Ohio has done, states continuously adjust there bar passage rate to reflect perceived market needs. 

Remember that you can not change the bar passage level. Nothing you do will make the bar pass 80% instead of 79%, even though a person could "fail" by a fraction of a point. 

Nothing you can do will change the competition. If you have to better than 30% of the persons taking the bar - than you have do better than 30% - that's a given. 

The only thing you can do is change yourself. 

So your goal for the eight weeks during the bar review should be to make the changes necessary so that you will pass the bar the first time: 

To make the change you'll have to be brutally honest about your issue-spotting skills, exam-writing skills, and your exam taking skills. 

You will need to sacrifice for two more months while you study for the bar. 

I know that you're so broke that you probably don't have two pennies to scratch together, but making money this summer is not anywhere near the top of your priority.

 Do whatever you have to do (legal of course) to give studying for the bar your full attention - Move in with your family, send your kids to relatives, borrow more money. Put forth your best effort now - Not the second time around.
