Some people do. It's OK. Hang in. For some people, it's just seeing that calendar turn from June to July, realizing it's weeks away, not months. It plays with your mind. Don't let it.
-Think back to how much you learned in law school in the days before certain final exams --days!
-You still have a long time. This exam is not until the very end of July. Today's the 3d, you have until the 27th to make all the mistakes. The only days that really count are the 28th, 29th, and 30th (if you are taking the CA Bar Exam).
-Remember, you are months into your study; you are "primed" and ready to make your learning geometrically more effective this July. It's not like you are just now opening books and saying, "Gee, I think I'll take that July Bar Exam.")
-Make stress your friend. Freaking out means you are nervous. Nerves can be most powerful. It can keep you awake, alert, it can motivate you to put in extra hours, extra concentration ---if you let it. The key is to make the stress positive and powerful energy; do not let it become paralyzing. (More tips on how to avoid stress paralysis in past and future posts!)
