drop how much money you had to spend prepping for the bar exam in the replies. me: got kaplan for free (public interest) but a $300 deposit, $250 for flashcards, $250 for NY fee, $500 for hotel during bar exam because I don't have quiet space. luckily living at home so no rent

woops forgot the "laptop fee" you know for, uh, using my laptop. $100. AND also a hot spot i had to rent for $100 (there was a 5 day minimum even though i only need it for 2 days). grand total: $1,500. i got off light because i've been living at home the last 5 months
