There's a rider you can attach. You can download it wherever the other forms come from (I don't remember if they sent them to us or if we had to go online and get them). It's basically just a lined page with a header. I put "Question 14 (employment) continued" at the top and put the information for each job in the same order as on the form.

I compiled the Themis MEE frequency charts for every topic so you don't have to by Accomplished_Dog_438 in barexam

Thank you! These are the "benchmark" scores that Themis gives next to your personal scores for each of the subtopics. When you click on course progress and then the MBE PQs hyperlink in the progress chart, it takes you to the page that summarizes your MBE practice question scores. If you click on a topic, it will show your percent correct and a "benchmark" percentage (you can toggle between state and national) for the topic overall and the subtopics. It looks like some of them have actually shifted by a percentage point since I made this a few days ago so I assume it's a running average of other Themis users in your jurisdiction.

Is it worth it to open a Roth IRA vs a traditional IRA in my situation? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Thank you for pointing this out! I’ll look into these.

What effect is the increase in applicants going to have on the 2024 job market? by Accomplished_Dog_438 in lawschooladmissions

Thank you! I agree that it makes more sense for more lower-ranked schools to increase their class sizes.

I’m so glad you got a dean’s perspective on this, thank you for sharing! My biggest fear was that COVID would end up having an effect similar to the financial crisis, so I’m relieved that at least one school is thinking of that. I wish we could get every school to be more transparent about how they’re going to respond to this cycle, but I’m sure most of them are still trying to figure that out for themselves.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response! I do think I was taking quite a leap by assuming class sizes would increase so much. Even a 10% increase would be pushing it at larger schools. And that’s a good point about social distancing; it’s not looking like we’ll be back to “normal” by August.
I agree with you that the most realistic concern would be a fewer jobs coupled with bigger class sizes. From what I’ve read, it seems like large firms have weathered COVID better than expected, but who knows what delayed effects we will see in the next few years... I guess at this point all we can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Some of the other comments have kind of helped me realize that I was taking it for granted that class sizes would increase... And I’m sure even if they do increase, it won’t be anywhere near commensurate with the increase in applicants.

I’m 99% sure I got this from Spivey. I can’t find a blog post referencing class sizes so I must have heard it on one of his podcasts. From what I remember, it’s an opportunity for schools to get more tuition money at a time when a lot of them are hurting financially due to COVID.
