I was really dreading the New York-focused day of the bar exam. I had lost so much time that I just barely got through all the material and didn't have time to go back and review and learn what I needed to know, so trying to regurgitate elements of crimes and torts and stuff would be really difficult, which it was. I watched the lectures on how to do an essay (there are 5) and got the format down, thank goodness. There was lots of stuff I didn't know and made up, but I followed the format and that will get me probably 1/2 credit for each one. The Multistate Performance Test was easier than I thought it would be. It could have been difficult like "draft a will" or "write a motion to..." which I wouldn't have even known how to format the damned thing - which is points all on its own, but it ended up a memo very similar to one I did for a class last semester. Easy peasy.
A few weeks ago I almost bailed on taking the exam this time because of not having enough time. A,
(e:Terry) and a law school friend who is now an attorney convinced me to just suffer through and take it (or maybe that was "STFU and study"), that my chances were still good. Statistical verification of that
Tomorrow: 200 multiple choice questions spread over six hours. Yippee!!!
I feel like I should write myself some notes to remember for taking the PA bar in February but I can't think of anything at the moment.
Much love and appreciation to
(e:PuddleDiving),
(e:Terry), A & Uncle Dudley!
Congratulations on clearing the lower (or perhaps the higher) rung! Good luck for the next!
Study Shmuddy -- you'll do great!
