User flairs are now available

17 Upvotes

User flairs are a subreddit-specific way to tag yourself. Here are the options:

  • Barbri
  • Themis
  • Kaplan
  • Quimbee
  • Attorney Candidate
  • Law Student
  • Passed
  • Tutor
  • Vendor
  • Other (can customize)

For example, if you're using Barbri to prep, you can select "Barbri." This flair will show up next to your username. You are able to edit the Other flair with your own entry.

This not only gives context to your posts and comments so we know who we're talking to but is also a fun way to identify yourself and others.

I encourage you to set yours! If you're primarily promoting a product or service, please select "Vendor" (and be judicious with your posts and comments).

How to set your user flair:

If you're using the mobile app, tap the three dots in the upper right while in the main r/CABarExam feed. Tap "change user flair" to see the different options. Enable "show my user flair on this community."

If you're using a web browser, you'll see "USER FLAIR" on the sidebar to the right, above the rules. Check the "show my user flair on this community" box.

Let me know if you have any suggested changes or additions.

July 2026 question about watches

3 Upvotes

Apologies for the slightly silly question, but I really don't want to risk anything in bringing my analog watch. So, they say it has to be "silent." Does this mean the watch can't have the ticking sounds that nearly all analog watches do?

Has studying turned my brain into this neurotic nitpicking nerd?! (most likely yes).

CA Civ Pro…?

Upvotes

Are we….are we actually learning CA civ pro distinctions are we winging it because like……I don’t think my brain can handle more information. CA Evidence has been difficult enough and I barely have a handful of those distinctions down. What’s the consensus?

July 2026 Silly question - but all the essays are different right?

Upvotes

I know there’s some cross over essays but we shouldn’t expect three con law essays or something, correct? Each essay is a different topic?

Honestly, this is what this process has felt like.

PREVIOUS PASSERS - ADVICE ON THIS FINAL WEEK?

12 Upvotes

Helllloooo! I'm a 3rd time retaker and I can confidently say my MBE scores and the way I prepped this time have made a difference and for once i actually feel okay going into this exam in comparison to the previous 2 where i had constant anxiety attacks leading up to the exam, and during the exam. I've dedicated this week to only practice essays and MBE's and memorizing and slowly tapering this down as the exam days get closer.

But I wanted to ask all the passers - what's your best advice for this final week? Continue practicing? Memorize only? I plan to make Sunday my very last study day

One week out!

34 Upvotes

Just wanted to wish everyone the best of luck. Put those rules into your own words if memorization isn't perfect. Drill your flashcards but let your brain rest. You all have worked so hard, and you're so close!

You got this, and may all pass!!

Heilman's Predictions: Question under Business Associations

10 Upvotes

Heilman made a July 2026 prediction under his "Business Associations" heading that says, "Even though BA seems less likely, you should be ready for a cross-over question involving agency...the Examiners have also given several cross-over questions involving Agency and Professional Responsibility."

Does anyone know what administration / year those questions were given? I have done a search and can't seem to find specifically which ones those cross-over questions were, and I would like to look at them. If you have seen them, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks for your help!

It’s 1am and I’m sitting in bed going over Themis outlines because I can’t sleep. There are still some essay subjects that I still just stare blankly at and we’re a week out from the exam… it feels too late in the game to be feeling this way. Need someone to talk me off a ledge!!

I've genuinley never been more nervous in my life

27 Upvotes

I am generally a pretty "whatever happens will happen" kind of person, and I always tell myself that the only thing we can control is our mindset and preparation. But HOLY COW i have never been more stressed for one event in my LIFE! I feel like every second I am not studying, I am increasing my odds of failure. I am seeing MBE questions in my dreams. Hell, I am even regretting the time it's taking to write this.

Im going crazy, ahhhh!
