He never took a Bar Examination. Abraham Lincoln, became a lawyer under an Illinois law enacted in 1833. This law stated that to be a lawyer someone had to "obtain a certificate procured from the court of an Illinois county certifying to the applicant's good moral character."
On September 9, 1836, a license to practice law was issued to Abraham Lincoln by two of the justices of the Illinois Supreme Court. Later, in a more formal session, on March 1, 1837, Lincoln appeared before the clerk of the Illinois Supreme Court and took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and of Illinois. Lincoln was then formally enrolled as an attorney licensed to practice law in all the courts of the state of Illinois.
Lincoln prepared for his career by reading Blackstone's Commentaries, borrowed from Stephan Logan, an Attorney, who would later become Lincoln's law partner. "Abraham Lincoln's early legal training and the rapid changes in antebellum law ensured that his legal education continued throughout his law career. Lincoln's early career as a lawyer, was a vocation, and an apprenticeship, rather than a formal or informal learned study of the various subjects in law, followed by a formal standardized examination.
Although Lincoln advised would-be lawyers to 'still keep reading' after becoming licensed, Lincoln's reading instead was directed toward the case before him.

What was the biggest disagreement between the North and the south during the civil war?
The biggest disagreement between the north and the south was slavery. The south wanted slavery but the north did not. the north beleived that slavery was cruel and wrong and in almost all northern states it was illgegal. however the south had very fertile land, perfect for planting crops like tobacco and cotton. they needed slaves to collect and clean these crops and they feared their economy would fail without the free labor from slaves. so the south decided to free it's self from the united states and become it's own country where slavery was legal. the north did not like the idea but the north did not start the war. the south attacked a northern fort and began the civil war. This all happened just after Abraham Lincoln became president. Abraham Lincoln and the north won the war and the south was re-joined with the north. Abraham Lincoln also abolished slavery in all states, both north and south.

You should call a local Real Estate school to find out this information. I believe that after you fail your first exam, you have to wait between 30 to 90 days before you can retake the exam. In addition, your Instructor should have informed you at the time of your failing about how soon you could retake the exam!
