Bar Exam Prep and Bachelor Party
Getting married this summer before heading to biglaw in September and will be doing BarBri prep program. Hoping to go on my bachelor party during a weekend in May-July (married in August). Can I do nothing for an entire weekend after BarBri has started? Is that ill advised?

It's possible to pass with 4 weeks of study. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's possible.
You could take two weeks in June and be fine. You're good. Have fun.

I really do not think that taking off a weekend from studying will have any significant affect on your ability to pass. Sometimes it's even beneficial to take a day or two off even if you're not in a situation that would require it; those days should help you to "re-charge." Studying for the bar can be grueling and hating it because it has entirely taken over your life doesn't help!

I took three days off in mid-June to go to a friend's wedding and did not feel as though I was any worse off for it. Granted, I did do extra the two weeks leading up to the trip.12481632 wrote:Getting married this summer before heading to biglaw in September and will be doing BarBri prep program.

I would be more concerned with doing as much planning as you can before you start bar prep and your S/O understands that you will not have the mental bandwidth to be of very much assistance leading up to the bar. Also, congrats on the engagement!

You'll be fine. Most people I knew didn't really lock in until July 4 anyway.
