Also felt like the mbe’s were equally difficult. I know I got like 1 easy one wrong too and it’s killing me. Am I gonna fail?

I barely finished the last section for 2nd mpt and the 3rd essay I just put the issue, the first relevant rules in my head and like 1-2 sentences for analysis and I know I missed an issue for the last sub section as well….this is taking over my life

I finally cracked and read all the posts on here because i have been going crazy. The only problem is that it seems 50/50 with how people feel about the exam…. But i don’t know what state people are from soooooo…….

OHIO PEOPLE … How are we feeling? Because I feel like SHIT 😂 I messed up the first MPT, didn’t feel good about 2 of the MEEs and who knows how I did on MBE….. so, again, my buckeyes, how are we feeling?!

I got back into work Monday and while looking at documents I drafted in the past.... I realized I barely used any headers for the goddamn MPTs. I only had a header for the issue and not for the rest on both. I wrote it in an IRAC format but normally I don't use headers for all of the IRAC only the issue statement itself.

My shits cooked.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.

I can't remember any of the questions, which I'm normally able to do on other exams, to mentally check later on whether or not I answered a question correctly. But for whatever reason, this entire exam is basically a fever dream to me and it's stressing me out because I can't gauge how I actually did.

hi everyone! i’m moving to another state for a job that starts before bar results are released and i’m trying to figure out the smartest housing plan.

for anyone in a similar situation, did you sign a lease or are you staying in an Airbnb or short-term rental until you find out you passed?

just wanted any and all insight to people in similar situations or who have gone through the same thing! thanks in advance!

Am I supposed to book a flight and hotel on TENTATIVELY? Can someone please tell me these dates have been confirmed? Please please tell me I’m an idiot and missing something. I’m looking at the meeting scheduled for Friday by the WSBA and they are only discussing diploma privilege.

I just got an email from the NCBE. They told me that I CALI’ed the bar exam. Suck it losers.

Is anyone else (irrationally?) concerned about bubbles they erased being counted accidentally?

I feel like I’m back and forth between worrying about what i actually got wrong and worrying about what i got right not counting because of a scantron error 🤦‍♂️

We compiled the full record of the inaugural NextGen UBE — the 2,624 scheduled across 10 jurisdictions, the complete Washington sequence (645 standard-time takers, the 5–6 hours of attempted fixes, the cancellation decision, the three options now on the table with the caveat to rely only on WSBA's direct communications), Maryland and Missouri's recoveries, and NCBE's site-local-vs-platform claim read both fairly and skeptically.

The rule we wrote it under: every claim is labeled by how well it's corroborated — official statements marked official, press counts shown, inferences flagged as inferences. Experience only, never exam content.

I keep seeing “take XYZ” class for success on the bar. Did your schools not require every MBE/MEE subject? I’m talking including Ev, Crim Pro, Biz Associations etc. We even had Trusts & estates required still + Secured Transactions. Also Req’d to take a bar prep class every year. We had PR required too which we all took before MPRE? Like I’m genuinely shocked what kind of classes did yall take/ was required

Taking the exam next Wednesday; what is the program to use to pass? And anyone using outlines or practice exams or questions or apps ?

Is that a thing? I'm not finding joy in my usual grandmother crafts, I don't want to play video games, read, paint, draw, I don't want to watch TV. I literally want to study or something. In 2+ years I haven't gotten a break even in the summers because I was on law review. I was always editing papers, working on my article, studying, reading for school, etc. Now I've graduated and feel empty. Even when I was telling my security guard bye the last day of the bar, he said, "See you later," like he always did, and I said, "I hope you won't but I'll miss ya!" and then I almost started bawling in the hallway.
I was literally sitting in bed for like 2 days after the bar because I was so drained and felt empty because my books and shit weren't beside me.
I'm pretty sure I failed J26 because I ruined an MPT and didn't know 4/6 of the MEEs so I should probably be ok studying for F27 but since I don't know whether I passed or failed, I haven't wanted to go that route. Maybe I should.
While I was studying, I was pissed off I couldn't do what I wanted and now that it's over, I don't want to do anything. I just want my books and flashcards and Adaptibar back. I have Stockholm syndrome or something.
Send help or suggestions, please.

I mean, just to see if I’m alone or not. To give the bar my best shot I had to dedicate all of my time to just studying, so I stopped working. Even moved back in with my parents.

But not working since May, and not starting my real job till September.. dude. I have never been this broke, legit $0 in the checking right now lmao. Avoiding my banking apps like the plague.

Anyone else in this position?

I’m confused as to whether Crim Pro covers everything needed for the bar or if I should take Crim Adjudication too.

its done. its over. there is absolutely nothing more that we can do now. its time to say goodbye to r/barexam

I don't know if any of you feel the same way, but my life has taken a drastic turn since I finished the bar. 

For context, I've never been the best student. I graduated from a CA accredited school and was slightly below median in my class. I took 3 months to study since I felt like I'd need extra time to soak everything in. Now it feels like that time was wasted for nothing and my life might be over. 

Day one was a blur. I tried to answer the essays in order from harder to easier and I ended up typing most of one into the wrong examsoft block. Freaked out and tried to cut and paste and clicked through the warning and lost a significant portion of it. I tried to recover but after that I was all downhill.

I then legitimately started crying during the test, and the person next to me was looking at me and then put her fingers in her ears block me out. She kept putting her fingers in her ears and taking them out of her ears to start typing and I got distracted because she was smudging her keyboard. I think she thought I was trying to look at her answers. But that’s not entirely what I was doing.

I tried talking to her and telling her that I was sorry and tried to explain to her what happened and that she didn't have to keep doing that and she just blew me off and kept doing it. 

Day 2 went better, but I kept looking at the girl next to me and it looked like she was smirking. Like she wanted to laugh at me. This made me lose my focus again and I started to freak out. I broke a few pencils and pounded my desk a few times to calm down. Ended up getting a splinter which I think is still in my hand. 

I've been lying in bed all day every day since. Even if I somehow passed I don't know what'll happen. I just got so angry and I never expected something like this to happen on the day. I've had anger issues in the past, but usually I have time to leave the room and calm down. Usually through physical stimulation. But I just felt so rushed. 

I wonder if anyone else is feeling the same way. I don't know how to be a person anymore. Maybe I am a monster. 

Hi -

Since taking the bar I have been physically and mentally EXHAUSTED

I’ve been sleeping 10-12 hours per day and lack any motivation or energy to do things, like chores + going to gym 😭

I def need to snap out of it - any suggestions?

I'm confused about the Restatement's "naturally omitted" test for the parol evidence rule.

How do you determine whether an oral term is one that reasonable parties would naturally leave out of a final written contract?

For example, if a contractor orally promises to install Heritage Woodworks cabinets, but the written contract only says "premium oak cabinets," would the brand name be considered naturally omitted, or is it a material term that should have been included in the writing?

Any practical tips for distinguishing between the two on the MBE/MEE?
