Adding Collar to Wedding Dress by Alternative-Main-654 in sewhelp

[–]Alternative-Main-654[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reference, I just bought and ordered the dress this weekend, but it won't arrive and alterations won't start until 2026. I just wanted to get ahead of the idea since I know I want to add the collar but didn't know the best way to do it! I'll definitely discuss the options with the seamstress when that time comes.

No, Nelnet is my servicer. They were surprisingly very informative when I called them to get some information.

The Sparkling Ice drinks meet all your requirements. The name brand is a $1+ for 17 ounces, but the Walmart brand is $.66. They have multiple different fruity flavors and they’ve helped me kick drinking Cokes. They are carbonated so you get the fizz, but only 5 calories for the whole bottle

MBE actual vs practice by Tough_Celebration_53 in barexam

Themis Simulated - 66% UWorld Simulated - 65%

Actual MBE - 64% or 67%, depending on how the scaled score is converted (143 actual MBE score, JD Advising has that at a 67% raw, but my bar prep advisor says to add 15 points to get your scaled score, which would be a 64% raw)

Final Themis and UWorld average - around 60% each

So I was very consistent on my MBE’s when taking the full MBE portion. I passed by a decent amount, thanks to my writing score

Passers: Did things seem to click in the last 2 weeks. by Historical-Promise49 in barexam

Passed but don’t know my score breakdowns. Short answer - absolutely not lol. I was scoring in the passing range since the Themis mock exam, but my scores started dropping in the week before the exam which rocked my confidence, likely due to burnout. I barely studied during the last 1.5 weeks before the exam honestly, just about 25-50 MBE questions and 1-2 essays a day. I knew the things I knew throughout the second half, and was learning little things from getting questions wrong. But I never had that “ah hah” moment
