- //IN THIS VIDEO:
I was very transparent and vulnerable and I poured my heart out, about how I failed the Ontario Bar Exam. I shared how I experienced failure and the struggles that followed. I made this video to encourage anyone out there who has failed before, and who has hit rock bottom, that there is still a light at the end of the tunnel.
This video is very long, but I will encourage you to watch it till the end, and share it to all your loved ones because there are several lessons to be learned from my experience. I also share the things I did differently that helped me pass the exam.

I’m Moyo and I’m licensed to practice law in the Province of Ontario, and in Nigeria. I got called to the Nigerian bar at the age of 21, and I got called to the Ontario bar at the age of 23. I am very passionate about Wrongful Convictions and my recent passion is to help Internationally Trained Lawyers (ITL) cross the hurdle of getting licensed in Canada.

Hello Mo! I thoroughly enjoyed your video and I can relate to your struggles! I'm a lawyer in Ontario. I also had struggles with bar exam and had unsuccessful attempts with both exams but I eventually too passed. My situation was slightly different where I had many roadblocks along the way with family circumstances/ deaths during my period of writing the bar exam. A very inspirational video that shows to never give up on your dreams!
Hi Jaspreet,
I'm glad you could relate to my video. Thanks for sharing your experience.
If you have any further questions you can book a session with me here bookme.name/AskMoyo/1-hour-paid-strategy-call-with-mo
This was just what I needed to hear to encourage me to keep trying. I have failed the bar exam in the US twice. I experienced everything you described to a T. Thank you for this powerful and inspirational video.
You got this!
@@AskMo thank you
Thank you Mo for this video ,❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼
You're welcome
Great content!... enjoyed every bit of it.
Thank you :)
Wow. It’s great you didn’t give up. People often get depressed with failures, but truly it’s what we do after we fail that really matters. You’re so lucky to also have great colleagues and bosses.
Thanks a lot modupe
Great one Mo.
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing this. I think it is really important to be honest in our profession (one where speaking about "failure" is taboo) and we need more transparency with respect to the bar exam. Many people feel shame and embarrassment for not having passed the first try...we need to start changing that and discussing this more! The bar exam is difficult and anyone who has taken it and denies its difficulty is really doing a disservice to those who do not pass the first try and those who do. As someone who was luckily enough to bass both exams on the first try I have great empathy for those that have to go through this awful process twice and try to do what I can to help.
Hi Sandra,
Thank you for your kind words of understanding. I'm honestly appalled by the condescension shown by most people who pass it in their first attempt.
It's really a disservice to others who aren't so lucky first time trying. I'm so glad you understand. Thanks for your comment.
Mo I failed in my Barrister exam in UK in first attempt and i can relate to all the feelings you have mentioned here. I appreciate that you could still manage through fear and anxiety which is getting me and hitting me hard
Hi Fahmida,
I really appreciate the sentiment.
Anxiety and the fear of failing are irrevocable parts of the human experience. It is how we respond to those feelings that matters. I reckon that one should always respond with courage and resilience, in order to transcend such feelings.
Thank you thank you for sharing. I just found out i failed and feel like shit. I love hearing others overcome their mountains as i start to overcome mine.
Awwwwww Mota B, you'll be fine. Make sure you take a break if you need to, and I know you'll overcome this mountain.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
My pleasure!
Very important share. Useful. God bless
Thanks.
Thank you so much Mo. I would like to ask a question. Can someone be a qualified lawyer at the age of 21?
Hi,
Thanks for your question,
It will depend on your jurisdiction. For example I got called to Bar in Nigeria at age 21. One has to look into the laws of each jurisdiction to ascertain whether there are age restrictions guiding who gets called to Bar.
See me saying "Thank You, Jesus!" as if I checked the result with you.😆😁😂😂
I'd like to have a chat with you about the NCA process and Masters'. Thank you.
Haha! Kindly send me an email: askmoyosore@gmail.com
Hello Mo, trust you are good. I wanna get my NCA starter pack please. How do I go about it??
Hi Mustafa,
This is the link to purchase the book.

Me too :)
I understand I am a lawyer in Nigeria. I had a conditional pass in my time. It wasn't funny.
Girl…. I am sure all law students on here can understand your tiredness. After exam every period, I can be tired for up to six weeks afterwards. Also, I always have a massive breakout and a two day headache after.
I am so glad you could relate!
Thank you so much Mo for this story, I will like to have a chat with you, I am a practicing lawyer in Nigeria planing to relocate to Canada by December, I will like you to guide me please. Thank you

Do the students get paid for doing 10months of articling before becoming a licensed lawyer in Ontario? If yes, then how much they pay you on average? Can I make a living out of it? Please answer. It’ll be really helpful for me. I’m from Bangladesh and I’m really big fan of yours.
Yes they get paid.
