(1) Do not take a break from your preparations. Memory is fleeting. Your memory will assuredly degrade if you decide to relax.
(2) Use this opportunity to substantially increase the number of practice essay and practice MC exams you will take prior to the Bar.
(3) Each state can change the manner and method of their Exam(s). Read your State's Bar Exam Website regularly (religiously?)
(4) Consider retaining a Bar Exam tutor to keep you on track
(5) Watch out for grossly inaccurate online information about the dates of the Bar Exam(s). All the more reason to stay wedded to your State's Bar Examiner's Website.
(6) Use some of your newly available time to expedite your job search. The exam delays will hit your wallet or purse. Do your best to mitigate the consequences.
(7) Many law schools have Bar Prep courses for 3Ls. Stay up to date with program logistics and, since many of these courses will go online, it is important that you master the video lecture platform that such schools will implement.
(8) The larger commercial providers face a daunting task in rearranging schedules, lectures, and substantive readings. Here, again, be sure that you are getting accurate information about all the changes that will have to be made.
(9) States, like California and Florida, that administer State-specific essays will find it very difficult to make adjustments because of a lack of man/women power. This would be a perfect time for those states to convert to the UBE, but don't count on it.
