I’m taking the February UBE after failing the bar twice. I’ll have been out of law school for about 4 years, although I’ve stayed in the legal field doing substantive legal work during that time.
I’ll have about 5 months with no job, so studying can essentially be my full-time focus.
I already have Themis and am considering Studicata/other supplements.
For people with ADHD, especially repeat takers: what actually worked for you? How would you structure five months of prep after being out of school this long, particularly for MBE improvement and memorization?

I graduated law school in 2023 but haven’t been licensed. I failed the Nevada bar shortly after graduation and am now planning to take the February 2027 Texas UBE.

Since graduating, I completed two years clerking for a district court judge and have spent about 2 years doing substantive attorney-level work at a state agency (from initial jurisdictional review through investigation and resolution, including directing investigations, drafting subpoenas, leading settlement negotiations, and presenting matters before the agency).

I’m targeting regulatory/compliance and maybe employment… and in-house work in Austin/Dallas if that’s possible out the gate. I’d like to get to $150k+ fairly quickly (leaving six figures now). What level of position and compensation would you realistically target with this background?

I graduated law school in 2022 and failed the Nevada bar twice (July 2022 and February 2023). My February 2023 MBE was 113.6, so I know multiple choice was a major weakness.
Since then, I completed a state district court judicial clerkship and have spent about 2 years doing substantive attorney-level work for a state agency—legal research/writing, statutory analysis, regulatory matters, investigations, enforcement, and settlements.
I’m taking the February 2027 Texas UBE. I’ll have roughly five months where studying is essentially my full-time job, and I’ve purchased Themis and plan to start reviewing early.

For former repeaters: how realistic is going from where I was to a 270 after several years away from the exam?

I know after Covid a lot of the premium hair manufacturers either shut down or were bought out. For example I know OnRite and others were purchased by DHR (https://www.discounthairsystems.com/DHR_Stock_and_Custom_Hair_Systems_s/1814.htm)

What quality companies does your salons or stylists work with? (And not lord, lavivid, Amazon, etc lol)
