No one in their reasonable mind would like to take the bar exam \u2014 not only is the test so stressful it could give you a heart attack, they don\u2019t even have protocol to timely assist you if that actually happens<\/a>! Ideally, law schools would be good enough to vet which of their students are competent to practice upon graduation. Until then, there has to be some mechanism for sifting the minimally competent from the people who need to do a couple more close reads of their hornbooks. NextGen wants to be that mechanism but they still need some tweaking to make the most out of the test, and they\u2019re willing to pay test takers to help them out. The only caveat? You had to take the January bar exam:<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re willing to sit through a mock exam for $1500, set an alarm for a week from now! As stated above, you can apply to take the NextGen bar between August 15th and September 8th. Given that the stakes of this bar are much lower than determining if the time, effort, and six figures you invested in law school were all for naught, you might even enjoy taking this test. Probably not, but getting paid to take a test could be enough to help you get through it.<\/p>\n
