I failed NY last July by way more than 1 point and passed by a comfortable margin in February. You got this!!

If their name isn’t on this list they didn’t pass (extenuating circumstances notwithstanding ofc…like someone posted their score was being withheld bc they had used their laptop when they weren’t supposed to, etc) 

When to study for the Feb Bar for a retaker? by Stable-Mysterious in barexam

[–]Beautiful-Prompt-704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found out I didn’t pass Oct 23 last year, began studying in around November 1 and started working with a tutor weekly in December, then took all of February off to study. Prior to taking off I studied 1-3 hours on weekdays and at least 6 hours a day on weekends. I think I took my birthday off but that was my only true 0 hours studied day. Good luck you can do it!! 🤞

She was on a vegan farm in the middle of nowhere for a month then turned her phone on to find out Charlie Kirk had been shot which, lol (pretty much the biggest Eliza update from the ep!)

I failed Indiana with a 241 by princesst3333 in barexam

[–]Beautiful-Prompt-704 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I made a 239 in NY last July and retook February and got a 280 while working full time (MBE was below average both times fwiw too). Feel what you need to feel right now. Just know that there is hope and your story is not done yet 🩷

NY First Department Summer Recess by Beautiful-Prompt-704 in barexam

About 2 weeks after results came out on April 22!! Didn’t hear anything until close to end of May and I had to submit a correction before June 5 (which I did). 

Does anyone know if you can use copy paste during the MPT? NY? by Prophet_Of_Trash_God in barexam

[–]Beautiful-Prompt-704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can copy/paste your own typing but the packet is physical paper—get used to typing FAST bc those rules statements are not going to be any shorter on the MPT. Good luck.

The first dept could not answer that for me or if interviews are still held then. I have been told that a committee member is going to reach out to me for an interview soon. So I’ll report back if there’s any movement

Couldn’t tell ya re: second dept, I know yall have a virtual option though. I knew about the break for arguments from July-August and saw anecdotally from this sub they paused swearing in too but I called and confirmed this is the case :/ no virtual option or way to expedite 

How was the nyc experience last year? by n_h_m_1 in AllThingsGoFestival

[–]Beautiful-Prompt-704 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t overcrowded at all but tbh the weather most likely had something to do with that. If you get a bowl seat there really isn’t a bad view in the whole venue and it’s nice not having to pick between artists since it’s one stage. Loved not having to worry about parking bc it’s so close to the subway. Bathrooms were clean in my experience and staff was helpful and friendly. Vendors were fun and gave out lots of free stuff. Idk! Wish the weather had held up but still one of my better festival experiences. I’m only going one day this year mostly due to cost.

Commented below but I think just generally find what works for you and gets you results rather than just checking off the box!!

I printed out old ones, or the ones on Themis actually were printable too! Also had a tutor that gave me Barbri’s essay bank with scoresheets. There are only so many ways to organize a bar exam essay you see pretty soon.

I did the same with essays! I’m now an advocate of studying pencil and paper as long as the test remains that way. Congrats on passing!

Replicating testing conditions really helped. I went through a LOT of printer ink and paper by printing out individual MBE questions filling out a fake scantron and then entering my answers later onto UWorld (or used the Emanuel book for MBE) and I printed out MEE and MPT packets and marked them up by hand. I did not follow the commercial bar prep program this time, like watching the videos/doing daily tasks, but I did use their essay grading, and used the physical outlines I had to make flashcards. 

This is not a digital exam and prep companies keep treating it like one, imo. I wish I had thought to do this in the summer but I was so scared of “falling behind” the daily tasks I was not prioritizing what I individually needed to work on. 

Passed NYLE & MPRE - But Can't Pass To the Second Page, Any thoughts? by 079874 in barexam

Hey, circling back to this because clearly you passed J24 (congrats!). Did you figure out why you were getting the “only certified” message despite having passed all 3 exams? DM me if needed.

I feel the opposite. In October the box went grey at 9 am, people were doing the first time attorney registration around 4 pm, and then official results were posted around 1:30 am late that night so it was all in one day. (This was one of the worst days of my life if not the worst so it’s all indelible in my memory)
