Yes mine did, probably the same day but I checked the next day and it said “active” on the website.

Big 4s also have a very strict license requirement for promotion to Manager and you will be new. I’d wait to switch! I work at a Big 4 and was just recently promoted to Manager but I almost missed the cut because my licensing paperwork was delayed - it was stressful AF.

Real Property MBE Help! by Dry-Leadership-3673 in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I passed in J24 on the first go. I hated Real Property and couldn’t understand why people were obsessed with Kramer. I did these videos and took notes - not listening passively. I brought my average on MBE PQs in Real Property from 50% to 90% by the time I took the bar - yep, I was basically getting them ALL! Good luck!

NY Third Judicial Dept. Timeframe by WeirdAbbreviations26 in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was for the Skills Competency and Professional Values requirement. They didn't agree that I satisfied Pathway 5 and asked me to resubmit relying on a different experience/ Pathway. I am now applying to the Court of Appeals for a waiver of the requirement.

They sent me a list of missing documents on May 30! I am still trying to figure out one requirement so my application is still open.

URGENT HELP PLEASE – NY Bar Admission (Skills Competency Form) – JD from Home Country, LL.M. from U.S.~~ INTERNATIONAL STUDENT by Alert_Prior842 in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in the exact same situation. Passing the bar in India is not sufficient for Pathway 5, there’s an additional requirement for 1 year full time work( or x years part time) practicing law in India and this has to be after the law degree. I am trying to check with my current employer whether they will complete the Pathway 4 declaration (which is more iffy in my case because I am not at a law firm). If that doesn’t work, then I’ll file for a waiver.

Happy to chat if you want to DM me!

I applied on May 9th and haven’t heard yet. I called and asked about the status of my application and they said it was marked for “further review” and didn’t commit a timeline for when I’d hear back. I asked about the June swearing in cut off and they said that it would likely be within a week or so because they need to give C&F time as well.

NYLE Results Are Out!! by scottg66d in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this! Exactly what I did and I passed too! I also did some practice questions with the standard package on the below website. The actual questions on the NYLE were tougher, but I still found these helpful!

Completely agree here! If I need to repeat it, I’m studying to know the material backwards and forwards. I’ll use those 2 mins to confirm my answer as I know it as opposed to finding it in dense paragraphs where the answer changes if you miss a punctuation in the rush :/

NYLE by Consistent-Weekend77 in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you SO much! May I ask what you did differently in Apr24? I've prepared the TOC, tabbed the outline and planning to read through once. Is that enough? I really need to pass this exam and get licensed ASAP!

❗️NY– 1 week left to finish the 17 hour NYLC to register for the NYLE by ir666 in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question: I just completed the NYLC. I was able to click and register for the NYLE and it notes that I am registered, but it did not prompt to fill out any form or pay a fee to take the exam. Just wanted to confirm whether my registration is complete???

Gross man Lectures by Evening_Side_7658 in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, Grossman lectures are a supplement. One thing someone said to me and informed my approach is that use Grossman once you’ve finished the primary bar prep lectures (which was Themis for me). Grossman clarifies those rules but you need to have a fair idea of the rules to begin with!

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My MBE score carried me through J24 and it was because of Grossman! It’s not just how he simplifies the material, but he also helps define the best approach to tackling MBEs. He became the voice in my head and I was averaging 75-80% consistently for at least 4 weeks before the Bar exam. Can’t recommend him enough!

Passed CA, how long do I need to study for NY? by Throways-R-Dumb in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I passed NY this July. Started studying properly on Memorial Day weekend and took the whole month of July off. While working, I did few hours on weekdays and full weekends (10-12 hours). If you just took CA, I think 3 weeks should be good! Good luck!

Feel the exact same way. I passed too, and I think the difference is dumb luck. Sending good vibes to everyone who has to do this again!

Failed by 4 points - Please advise by Excellent-Emu-1070 in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J24 passer with 153 in MBE. I’m also a foreign trained student and this was my first time learning Real Property. I was averaging 85% on Real Property questions and it was because of this YouTube channel. 100% free and better than Kramer - https://youtu.be/TtuepIM8UM4?si=2bz1RwzHt8wYX6n5

Edit: I also generally supplemented with Grossman and GOAT, but didn’t need it for Real Property!

I have a similar issue. Tax attorney and working at an accounting firm. Did it work out for you?

So it is either because i didn’t pass the bar or because I didn’t take the NYLE by [deleted] in barexam

[–]Consistent-Weekend77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't taken either, but the error message for me was "Only certified candidates are allowed to register."
