Been seeing a lot of questions about bar logistics recently. This will depend a lot on the state, so check your state bar website, but here are some things that you might find helpful, based solely on my experience.
DO NOT bring stuff they told you to not bring. If they said don’t bring pens and highlighters, for example, DON’T FUCKING BRING PENS AND HIGHLIGHTERS. They will take them away. You’ll have to do a walk of shame to the front of the room to drop them in a box.
I heard that in my year some idiot tried to get away with having a smart watch. He got it taken away and I’m not sure he ever got it back. Don’t be that guy.
You will not be able to eat during testing hours. You can bring food but it’ll have to stay in a bag outside the actual testing room, and you cannot access said bag during testing hours even if you were to walk by it to go to the restroom. Into the testing room you can only bring permitted items which do not include food/drinks. You will eat at lunch. So eat a breakfast.
Most people dressed comfortably in their law school sweatshirts, jeans, etc. It can get cold if they’re going to be pumping AC. I’d avoid walking in with the hoodie over your head though. Why arouse suspicion?
If your state requires a dress code, follow it. Ask other people who took it before you.
Give yourself enough time to get to the hotel the night before, and enough time in the morning to get to the testing center. Goes without saying, of course, but you will feel so much more relaxed.
If you are going to have to upload the exam via your own internet (as opposed to using internet at the testing center), you especially want to make sure that you will have internet in your hotel room.
Get a hotel room walking distance from the bar exam. Traffic/parking/car troubles are the last things you want to deal with in the morning of the bar exam.
Stock up on food in your hotel room so you don’t need to worry about buying meals should you realize there’s nothing around your hotel. This includes things to drink - bottled water, gatorade, etc.
