Since you may not have much experience practicing law, the hiring partner wants to know how you work through difficult situations. Law exams are complex and have the added pressure of being timed. If you cannot remember a specific exam question, talk about your hardest course. Explain the specifics of why you found it challenging. You can also describe something you could have done to make it easier to show that you can learn from challenges and make yourself better moving forward.
