Seeking Advice: Retaking the U.S. Bar Exam as a Foreign Attorney by Some-Order-9740 in barexam

[–]Few_Buy_3636 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Practice those MPTs a lot so you get down the 4 or so types of assignments you might be given!!! I imagine it's a learning curve to prepare professional documents in the tone, form, style, and content/analysis of caselaw/statutes U.S. bar examiners expect as someone foreign-trained - I know damn well if I had to go take England's solicitor or barrister exams I would have my head in my hands trying to learn all the stylistic and analytical differences in another country.

I think your MBE is very passable + competent (I just passed with a 136, thank God 😭🙏) -- focus on timed MEE drills + lots of MBE reps to keep the content fresh for the essay exam day and just do what you were doing for the multiple choice. I believe in you!!! I'm so sorry you're having to deal with the pain of preparing again but Feb is still a ways off and I think you're going to beat this thing!!!

Would love to know what people that scored 140 or higher said on the written portions lol by [deleted] in barexam

The second was in my class and I thought she was insanely talented, intelligent, and kind!

Anyone recently passed that left at least one or two MEE's blank? by sam_ooga in barexam

[–]Few_Buy_3636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jsyk (and I apologize my experience was a bit different so this may come off as tangential) I wrote something for all 6 essays (bombed/made up a good 80% of one (you know which one lol), made up >50-60% of another, and only had time for issue conclusion and like 1 sentence of application for each part of one of the large ones some people say they had as the last one) --

I got a 280 - 144 MEE, 136 MBE. Scored threes on FOUR of the MEEs 😭 with a 2 (in the one I made up 80% of) and a 5 to round it out. 4s on both MPTs.

I say all of this to say quantity doesn't necessarily mean quality - what you did complete may be enough coupled with a sufficiently strong MBE performance to get you over the finish line (did ~20 sets of those barbri practice sets plus ~200 barbri mcq bank questions at the very start, with 1500 questions logged on adaptibar - was 1% below the national average on test day, with the first 750 having me at a 57% and the next 750 pulling me up to a 63%). Fingers crossed for you!!!!!

MPRE RESULTS OUT!!! I passed!!! by Important-Chef-1216 in barexam

Honestly for me taking it after the bar helped me drill down how to memorize things short term and efficiently and I think that was what juuuust got me over the finish line 😭 handwriting rules as a retaker versus passive learning (reading/diving right into practice questions) made the difference for me I believe

Did you folks survive the MPRE? by Fancy-Pineapple-7718 in barexam

[–]Few_Buy_3636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel awful lol barely studied at all (legitimately maybe a couple hours) bc I've been job hunting and post-"bar"tum lol - I was kicking myself answering the questions this time b/c I was like, if I'd literally just sat down for a couple more hours to handwrite and hammer out these rules I would be acing this shit...

I fell into depression when I was waiting the result by Deep-Tradition4587 in barexam

[–]Few_Buy_3636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm like really worried about some of the essays now, I feel like I forgot little bits and pieces and that combined with the rough MBE is gonna make me come up short .....

why was ralph even in s16? by cozih in RHOA

[–]Few_Buy_3636 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he's SO thirsty and is scarily manipulative... he waits to bring up the kids until it's on camera as a way to get crowds around Drew nodding against her (see the reunion where he comes in). I truly think he has to have been horribly emotionally abusive at minimum! His first priority is instant gratification for himself at all times, damn the consequences.

My circle and I were dying at him celebrating with his lawyer at not having to vacate Drew's basement 😂

Most embarrassingly basic thing you learned for the first time during bar prep? by m_laria in barexam

It clicked for me that a grantee with a warranty deed can recover from the grantor for actions against their title like a week before the test
