I think I’ll be ok for that on Wednesday. But tomorrow for the Montana essays, I’m expected to have 18 subjects crammed into my head and ready for quick and detailed recall and regurgitation. Eighteen freaking subjects! As if. Tuesday is better—only 10 possible subjects to keep in mind, and that’s basically just a subset of what I’m supposed to know tomorrow.

These freqency charts can end up being pretty unhelpful b/c the examiners could easy choose to test *only* the topics they least commonly test and if you just follow the freqency charts in your studying, you'll get a big zero on that exam. Of course, if everyone follows the frequency charts and everyone gets big zeroes, we all pass, right? Who's gaming who here? Let's turn the tables on the examiners: How about we (meaning everyone taking the MT bar, at least) all agree to study only the first 5 topics on the above lists. That way, if the exam tests anything else, we'll all do more or less equally bad! Exactly!

(As of 2005) So what did we get last summer? SECURED TRANSACTIONS!! And no one had studied for it. Boo! In Georgia, Secured Transactions was tested 2 of the last 20 times.
