People keep asking me why it takes so long to get results from the bar exam. Good question. My only answer is that the Bar wants to torture those who take the test.

Over at Jeremy Richey’s Blawg there’s a long thread about people’s reactions to the bar exam. Yeah, it’s been a while, but if you’re getting nervous you might find some reassurance in the fact that everyone is saying the same thing—it was hard and felt awful.
Day Two: This transaction is utterly insecure.

I’m taking the bar exam so I can do the job I really want to do. The job I really want to do asked me to go to training a couple of weeks ago. To attend training, I had to miss a lecture on a subject called “secured transactions”—something I knew absolutely zero about…. If I got one point it will be a miracle.Is there some irony in there somewhere?

It was just good to finally get in there, sit down, and dig into some real questions. Today was just four state essays in four hours. Here’s my self-scorecard: Worker’s Compensation/Torts—Optimistic: 5/5.
T-minus two hours… (There is no spoon!)

As usual, Energy Spatula In the comments, Frolics and Detours I feel the same way about the essay subjects. Yesterday morning I memorized what I need to know about federal jurisdiction and then studied a bunch of other subjects. Now I don’t think I can tell you anything about federal jurisdiction, let alone any of the other subjects I studied.
Act with alacrity!

Adding insult to injury, our BarBri course finished up today with a 6-hour marathon with Professor Mike Spak on Sales (which we’d already covered during the 3-day contracts lecture weeks ago) and Commercial Paper. I wanted to poke out my eyes.
Now that’s some cool math!

Tab and Brandy recently made some very encouraging calculations for those procrastinators among us bar-studiers:14 hrs/day * 7 days = 98 hours of studyingCompare:3 hrs/day * 6 days * 6 weeks – 10 hr adjustment for shorter weeks = 98 hours of BarBriNow, doesn’t that give you hope? Or is it just me?
MBE: How low can you go? (and still pass!)

I finally forced myself to do a full practice MBE yesterday and it confirmed what all my other practice question sessions had already indicated: If I took the test today I’d get about 60% of the questions right. That seems awful, yet I’ve heard it’s usually a passing score for the MBE once everything is scaled.
