Just keep smiling, and keep studying. I read your blog when I was studying over the summer and it helped to know you were going through the same struggles! Here are some things that I think Helped me pass in NY:
I used a really simple formula for the essays. I used IRAC. And I literally wrote "the issue is ____", "the rule/law is ___", "here the defendant____" "therefore ___".
I took about 2500 multiple choice practice questions for the MBE, noting why i got them wrong.
I made about a million flashcards with the common law on a white card, and NY law distinction on a colored card.
I'm sure you already heard that crap a million times, but hey if there's one tiny thing that helps, I'm glad.

literally to Legally Fabulous' comment. When I first saw my boyfriend after his and asked how it went, he threw up right there. So, good luck!
No way around it - the bar exam sucks. Try to enjoy the holidays and save the stress for the new year.
ekkkk i don't even want to think about the bar...
