Welcome to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! Today we are talking with Dr. Jared Maloff, a licensed clinical psychologist in Beverly Hills, about getting accommodations for the bar exam. This topic is critically important, because a large numbers of students and bar studiers struggle to get the accommodations they need for the bar exam, even when they've successfully gotten accommodations in law school. Tune in to find out more about the accommodations process for the bar exam.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What types of accommodations are available and who may be eligible for them
- Why it is so important to have someone familiar with the requirements for seeking accommodations help you through the process
- The critical importance of starting the process as soon as possible – seeking bar exam accommodations is not the time to procrastinate
- Common mistakes accommodation seekers make in their applications
- Finally, some coping mechanisms for those struggling with issues such as anxiety during the exam
