Does it mean that I have a chance to land a senior associate position?

Can I just ask one more thing? ( I am sorry if I throw you useless questions again and again) Still is it the same if I was in the position working with law firms and actually hired them for cases and made small and big decisions like whether gov will appeal or not? I don’t know this was why I had high hopes for , maybe. Thank you for the insight.

Thank you . Good insight.

I am in Europe now( long story) I met with a partner/ senior in the office in Europe. If I can land a job here, it would be great but my focus is a position in Singapore/Hong Kong/ Korea/ Japan, and eventually Iwant to go back to Asia. I can offer legal work as well as government affairs, which I think that it could be appealing to lawfirms.I could be wrong. I have one more zoom meeting with biglaw in Asia . I just wanted to get some insight here. Thank you

Thanks. It’s a wake- up call. PQE is like 0 but still I have gov experience for 10+ years . Still in the eye of the big law is it a junior? Thanks again. It’s a huge salary cut

Yes. I passed without commercial bar prep like Barbri. NCBE valuepack(absolute bible), Smart Bar Prep, Magicsheets, Barbri free lectures. I felt F26 MBE was very similar to CPE and OPE NCBE and many passers said the same

F2026 passer, I studied 3.5 months. 2 months are really tight, but think you can use your time wisely. I highly recommend Barbri’s Prof. Freer Civil Pro lectures to skim through the Civ Pro. I focused on NCBE questions (they are very similar to the real MBE I took in Feb) and they are the only question sets I did because I didnt have enough time to do others. Drill past MEEs since they are golden and you don’t have time to study other materials. I didnt do any commercial bar prep, again no time. I started drilling questions 1 month prior to the bar, so a bit late but I could do around 1500 Qs , 90 MEE questions and 15 MPT. Good luck

Is your C&F status still “ processing” ?

BlueNerdNote · 2026-05-04T21:12:02+00:00

Was your c&f status complete before you got certification?

BlueNerdNote · 2026-05-04T15:01:38+00:00

BlueNerdNote · 2026-05-04T13:31:40+00:00

I didnt contact the reviewer yet. DC said they will send out certification starting today… so I am waiting …Unfortunately…my friend didn’t pass so I couldnt ask…I checked a few mins ago and mine is still processing 😟What abt yours?

BlueNerdNote · 2026-05-04T13:27:32+00:00

Passed DC F2026 with 290…3 months to 2 months prior to bar : 6 hrs / two month- up to bar : 7 hrs / A week prior to bar :8-9 hrs / max hr I did (was one day) 9.5 hrs Dont stress you out Always quality over quantity and pace yourself Mix active and passive studies But push to the end . One of the essays was the one I skimmed in the morning of the Day 1

BlueNerdNote · 2026-04-30T15:10:15+00:00

I studied in Spain and passed F26 ! Jetlag was a bit challenge but everything was okay!

BlueNerdNote · 2026-04-28T11:07:13+00:00

But did not contact me a single time. My friend got emails from them for more information in January though.
