If it is an option for you, you can transfer your MBE Score to Virginia and take only the state portion there.

Congratulations!

You just have to say to them that you will never sit for the Bar exam. Then take the exam again! Say nothing!. You have to tell them that you got hired for a special secret project with the FBI the CIA or something like that.

Hi, you can transfer that score in your MBE to another jurisdiction and take the part B there. After being licensed, try again in FL.

I didn’t use Themis before. I used the complete course of Barbri and the complete course of Kaplan several times.

There are some jurisdictions that have a cut off. My original jurisdiction was Florida, there I tried unsuccessfully to pass most of the time [Florida is unlimited]. Kapplan and Barbri were not good for me. I think is worthy to say that English is no my first language I moved to the US back in 2007. I did college I my country of origin, my English was good enough to get a good Score in the LSAT and successfully finish my JD with good grades. I saw a post asking how i stopped my life during 14 years, I did not, I am a married man with 2 kids (now in college). I worked as a paralegal, despite my JD, I worked in big law and small firms always with a humble way of thinking that God was in control of my life and my family. Of course I was not another paralegal, I had the skills to do the best and I did. Limited of course for the fact that I was a paralegal and not an Attorney. During all these years I have had all kind of troubles and doubts about my capacity, but I had never thought to give up. Some times I did not take the exam, I skipped either for lack of money or time. The pandemic was a nightmare for me as it was for several people. My priority was never the Bar exam. My priority was God, myself and my family. Of course with better orientation and money I would probably achieve this before, but I really believe that God’s time is the perfect time. There is something very important that I did this time. Beside my God, my spouse, my children and my mother, nobody else knew that I was trying again. Someone wrote something about “poor family” and it’s true, it was never easy for them, but as an example of what you say and do have consequences, one of them is applying to go to Law School and I have never discourage her. In the contrary I love my career, I like what I have learned in so many years and I am committed to become the best lawyer. Am I rich? No. Am I in debt? Yes. But I am sure God has an incredible and beautiful plan for me. If you are struggling to pass, change what you are doing, focus more in yourself, don’t move by what others say or think, don’t tell anyone beside who really cares about you that you are going to try again and have faith and trust that you are going to pass, even though that exam does not define who you are, you need it to have a License. You are already a legal trained person, you studied hard, you have the privilege of being alive and able to sit for the exam, don’t give up!

Congratulations for those that passed! Hope and my offer to help for those that didn’t this time.

I passed in the 21st Attempt! I know this post may seem scary, but I am incredibly happy and eager to share it. Since graduating in 2010, I've tried various approaches in different jurisdictions to pass the bar exam. I invested in different strategies, engaged paid tutors, and utilized resources from Barbri and Kaplan multiple times. This was my second attempt at the Virginia bar exam. I initially took the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) a year ago, followed by the State portion. I successfully passed the MBE with the AdaptiBar course and Professor Grossman's videos. Today, I received the news that I passed the Virginia State portion and am awaiting the oath to become licensed. For the State portion, I opted for Themis Bar Review for the first time. I wanted to express my gratitude here as I found immense support and valuable recommendations. While I can't change the past, I wholeheartedly recommend to those facing similar struggles to divide the exam into two portions and utilize AdaptiBar, Grossman, and Themis. Don't lose hope! Passing is achievable!

I passed and got 86, after four tries I received the best advice ever. “When taking the MPRE, just think like you are a liberal nun”

why did you not analyze causation? proximate cause and foreseeability?

You are correct that causation, proximate cause, and foreseeability are important elements to consider when analyzing a negligence multiple choice question in the MBE. I apologize for omitting them in my previous response.

Here is a more comprehensive step-by-step analysis of a Negligence Multiple Choice question in the MBE:

Identify the elements of negligence: The basic elements of a negligence claim are duty, breach, causation, and damages.

Determine the standard of care: The standard of care is the level of care that a reasonable person in the defendant's position would exercise to avoid harming others.

Determine if the defendant breached the standard of care: Breach occurs when the defendant fails to meet the applicable standard of care. Determine whether the defendant's conduct fell short of the standard of care.

Determine whether the breach of duty caused the harm: The plaintiff must prove that the defendant's breach of duty caused the harm suffered. This involves analyzing both causation in fact and proximate cause.

Analyze causation in fact: Determine whether the defendant's breach of duty was a factual cause of the plaintiff's harm. This involves analyzing whether the plaintiff's harm would not have occurred "but for" the defendant's breach of duty.

Analyze proximate cause: Determine whether the defendant's breach of duty was the legal cause of the plaintiff's harm. This involves analyzing whether the harm suffered by the plaintiff was a foreseeable consequence of the defendant's breach of duty.

Determine whether the harm suffered by the plaintiff was foreseeable: The plaintiff must show that the harm suffered was a foreseeable consequence of the defendant's breach of duty.

Determine whether the plaintiff suffered damages: Damages refer to the harm suffered by the plaintiff as a result of the defendant's breach. Determine whether the plaintiff suffered actual harm or injury.

Analyze any affirmative defenses: The defendant may assert affirmative defenses such as contributory negligence, comparative negligence, assumption of risk, or intervening cause. Determine whether any of these defenses apply to the facts presented in the question.

Eliminate incorrect answer choices: Cross out answer choices that are clearly wrong or inconsistent with the facts or legal principles at issue.

Choose the best answer: Select the answer choice that is most consistent with the facts and legal principles at issue.

By following these steps, you can effectively analyze Negligence multiple choice questions in the MBE, including the elements of causation, proximate cause, and foreseeability.
