I will be writing for the NY bar exam in July. Do any of the Aggie attorneys have any advice for preparation? I appreciate any advice!

That was ages ago. All I really remember is that I studied all day, every day for a month and a week. I took Barbri and PMBR and studied each subject all day after the courses. The night before I chilled out.
Good luck!

I always wondered if just anybody could take the Bar Exam? Like people who didn't go to law school

I don't think so. In Georgia you used to be able to take it prior to graduating from law school but they changed that rule some years ago.

I think in Virginia you can and there's another state (maybe TN) that has an apprentice program where you study under a practicing attorney for some number of years. In each case there is a restriction on the type of law you are allowed to practice.

I passed the NC exam on the 1st attempt. I echo Dooms' comments.
Specific advice for the essays
C- state your conclusion, i.e. the answer. Always remember to answer the question asked.
R- state the rule next that governs the situation.
A- provide analysis applying the facts given to the applicable rule.
C- restate your conclusion.
The CRAC (pronounced crack) method.
