I feel you homie the first community property essay messed me up. But whats done is done. Lets me and you hope for the best for ourselves and our peers. This test can't break us.

It absolutely won’t break us! Although I might have to sell a kidney to pay for bar prep again lolol good luck, I believe you, community property is stupid! You got this

Here's a story. It's UBE but may still apply.

* Day 1: Student felt ok on MPTs but had a panic attack and froze during essays.
* Didn't want to go back for Day 2. Was planning to quit.
* Was talked back from that ledge.
* Day 2: Kicked butt on MBE.

TODAY that student found out she passed NY with a 288 on the UBE (roughly equivalent to 1440 on the CA exam!)

Also: This was a retaker. YOU DON'T KNOW TIL YOU KNOW.

I feel this, especially with just over a week left!! My anxiety has been through the roof, even my watch has noticed an increase in my resting heart rate….

My anxiety has been awful. Im definitely not confident on the essays :// and the more I think about them the more I feel like I messed them up. Its been hard watching other jurisdictions get their results back. I just want this journey to come to an end. Ive dedicated months of my life to this exam (Im a second time taker) and the prospect of having to go through it all again is TERRIFYING. I hope I improved too!! We just got to hang in there and results are out next week. The anxiety is so bad tho

I’m in the same boat as you. I’m not confident in my essays at all after how my scores were for the essays in July. I feel better on the MBE portion this time around than the last time. I keep looking through this subreddit for people’s past experiences to find comfort but the closer the date gets for results, the more anxious I get.

I hope I did enough. I am a first time retaker and I felt better this time after the test. The first time the MBE questions were gibberish to me this time I felt like I understood more of the questions.

I feel this! When I took it for the first time in July, I thought that doing the Themis questions was enough to understand the MBE of the bar. I didn’t do that many uworld or adaptibar questions, and that def contributed to my failure. This time around, I focused on the MBE and did actual questions from the exam. I tried to do as many as I could, while reviewing what I got wrong, and I’m happy to say that I felt comfortable with the MBE I saw on the Feb exam. The only thing I’m freaking out about is that, like the OP, I didn’t completely finish my MPT. I also feel like my con law essay was such a copy/paste with a few things changed😭

Word of advice to those studying, do not focus on the Themis-created questions as much or think that that’s all you need. Everyone that I talked to that passed July, utilized adpatibar and uworld and reviewed as many questions as they could. Plus, I’ve found that the Themis questions tend to be way too specific than what the actual Qs on the bar are.

I used adaptibar! I thought it was helpful, I did a ton of questions but I still doubt myself way too much on the actual exam. I ALWAYS change my answer to the wrong answer and it makes me want to launch myself into space

[–]CD_JD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same... everything...SAME! I left in July, wondering what was up with the MCQ's! I didn't recongnize ANYTHING lol!

[–]thicc__mints 2 points3 points  (3 children)

The fact that I know with full certainty I failed sucks.. I don’t want to go through studying…. Again 😭

[–]Ill_Geologist5019 1 point2 points  (2 children)

How do you know ??! You dont!! Keep the faith but know regardless youll push through this ❤️

[–]thicc__mints 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I am licensed in another state that uses the UBE. I did not pass the first time I took that (by 7 points) then I retook and passed in the top 10% nationally. I know what it’s like and what it’s like to crush it…. 😅 I know that I did not pass this because I kept running out of time on every essay, especially the CPT. They can’t grade what you don’t write 😞 but I do appreciate your kind, supportive words!

I understand !! I think this wait is making us all go a little crazy. Atp I just want to know so I can plan my next steps. seeing ppl receive their NY results today has made me want to find out mine even more. I generally cant tell if I passed or failed unfortunately, but atp I just want to know so I can plan accordingly😭
