"You Can Get it, if you really want..." (title of a Jimmy Cliff song). Do you really want to PASS the bar exam? (Do you really NOT want to fail the bar exam?)
A couple of questions:
1. What is motivating you? Not, what is motivating your classmates. What is motivating you? What are your positive motivators (those that make you want to pass), and what are your negative motivators (those that make you not want to fail)? Do you have a job riding on this? Do you have something to look forward to when you pass? (And, check this one out --do you have anything that you do not want to have to do or deal with, that will happen if you pass? If this is a 'yes,' then think long and hard about working that out now....)
2. Do you have support? Do you have friends with you? Is your family on board? Do you have a mentor? Is there a future employer looking out for your success? (And, check this one ---is there anyone in your world who may not want you to pass -explicitly or implicitly?)
3. Do you believe you will pass?
