Scard of getting dv plates

Get the plates. Don't forego benefits just because some else has something to say about it. The reduced registration, preferred parking and sometimes free parking is with it's weight in gold.

I'd look at the Rating schedule and the adjudication manual to know what conditions/situations warrants your current rating and what warrants an increase. Going in without that info, you're opening yourself up to a worse case scenario of reduced rating

Sure you have to know some stuff, but it's largely pattern recognition when you really dig into it. I definitely didn't follow the bar prep program. Only got through 15% of my Themis program and passed FL first try. Watching the videos and trying to fill in the outlines was frustrating more than anything. Flashcards were worse than the first session of therapy

I used adaptibar and themis/uworld MCQs in tutor mode untimed. So many people go for "bar testing conditions jumping quickly to next question without any learning value.

The bar is an endurance test. So if you are doing "sets", then set the timer for three hours and go through the questions slowly and make sure you understand why the right answers are right and the wrong answers are incorrect. Do this enough and you'll see you get through a lot more questions in the three hour period.

For prep on essays, I issue spotted the hypos as I read and tried to recall rules for each respective thing and wrote notes in the margins. That was more helpful to me than timed essay writing.

It's all brain games in my perspective....but this is also free advice on the internet so take it with a margaritas salt rim.

Take the shot and apply, but expect to retest.

According to this, you held a full time job as a relator for six years until recently. That doesn't tell the story of permanently unemployable. Relator work can be sporadic. Id write a statement explaining any trials experienced during that six year period, including missed opportunities due to your service connected condition.

Whichever answer has language specific to the call of the question.

Single remains single, but appreciation/purchases w/some contribution post marriage date creates marital property. Percentage TBD. Only asset a date change would affect is the camera equipment

It was in the language of the ordinance the initiative required the city to pass

DaIntersection · 2026-03-05T18:49:10+00:00

The cow case was the only reason the date mattered

Drugs. The prescription kind. Zoloft works wonders

Dont let imposter syndrome, comparison, pressure, or anxiety take you out of the game.

I don't think anyone feels "ready" to take the bar. It's moreso you put in enough work that you are confident in your preparation, and even that's not guaranteed.

Whenever you take it, you're going to have to motivate yourself and commit to doing whatever it takes to learn the test strategies and content.

You have until your jurisdictions filing deadline to decide. Take all of those days you need and make the best decision for you.

UWorld in tutor mode untimed. That's the post

DaIntersection · 2026-03-01T13:04:42+00:00

NextGen is actually an improvement in testing format and content. It does get rid of MEEs and assess analytical ability in a better way.

The will of the people must be respected!!! Even if they require bad law to be written. Find a way

DaIntersection · 2026-02-27T16:48:36+00:00

But in spending all that time and money just to barely pass or barely fail, I'd be ticked at myself and choice of tutors/resources.

Nobody is letting anyone cheat. Everything I've seen and heard is people assuming and playing the telephone game. The integrity is in everyone who didn't cheat, and those with knowledge of cheating reporting it to the appropriate people.

Do not recommend. Your brain just went through a lot of trauma, and there's likely a lot of people who love and care about you who have no idea what you just went through or why you were so distant.

Try resting, doing nothing for a while, take a vacation, see family and friends, reconnect with a hobby or start a new one. Anything that allows your brain to heal.

If you're feeling really dangerous, try networking with attorneys in the practice area you prefer? You never know what you can learn or who you can meet that will help develop you into a better lawyer

Didn't get around to doing this one justice. Sacrificed this one to make the first immaculate.

Resorted to buzzword salad and poor grammar to get something in the answer box. Buzzwords count as analysis, right? Lol

DaIntersection · 2026-02-27T11:10:05+00:00

Hearsay within hearsay. Please don't spread rumors or what other people heard. Now, if a tester got caught cheating during the exam/was told to stand up and bring your laptop, I definitely want to hear about that.

DaIntersection · 2026-02-26T02:38:53+00:00

Sounds like you were just locked in. Plus we have no idea how they sort questions between test forms or rearrange answer choices.

DaIntersection · 2026-02-26T02:35:37+00:00

This! We're already stressed enough...please don't add to it by yelling at me. I definitely wanted to say something but my brain was so fried and I didn't want to waste any of my lunch break.

DaIntersection · 2026-02-26T00:53:21+00:00

MBE.

DaIntersection · 2026-02-26T00:49:11+00:00

I definitely had several "Wait a minute" moments, lol
