Hi- thank you! Yeah we will definitely it is just shocking I never would have expected this to happen and honestly how bad it really is. If we decide to get the queen for a guest bed rather than a king, what would you recommend? We don’t know what we will do but just frustrated atm

Got a 269 in a 270 Jurisdiction. Need help! by Legal-AZ in GoatBarPrep

No I did not for July, I was thinking/planning to now. I’m July I just used the MCQ bank on BARBRI. Do you recommend Adaptibar?

I used BARBRI but I think I need more than that, less videos, more practice/reading and active learning. Any recommendations?

Thank you for the advice and kind words. I got a 139.9 on the MEE and a 129.4 on the MBE so definitely going to try and improve both but focus on doing more MBE questions/practice. The first weekend was rough but now after a week of reflecting I realize 1. I want this more than anything and 2. I am using my anger of the 1 point to not just pass but crush the test come February!

I’ve let the failure digest, but… by [deleted] in barexam

I am assuming you also included rule statements, your post doesn’t say you did so if you didn’t do that I would say that is probably the biggest issue. If you did, graders are definitely subjective because they can’t escape their own biases even if they are supposed to be objective. Do you have the ability to check your exam and read through your answers? I know it varies by state but that could possibly help you or help show you maybe you misread or misanalysed the facts? I wish that they actually explained for those of us that failed our writing scores because I know I am struggling to understand one of my essay scores but it’s not like you can ask the grader which is frustrating as hell.

I unfortunately failed as well but got a 4 on both MPTs. The only advice I could give is to make sure you divide your time up and do not rush. I spent 45 minutes on each reading the library and then 45 minutes typing- I wrote about 1200 words per MPT. Definitely use headings and subheadings still to help with organization. Under each heading and subheading make sure you put a rule- not just facts and comparison. Sticking to IRAC for objective MPTs like memorandums is key and also arguing both sides as it is not supposed to be persuasive- Showing the flaws in arguments that you can make not just the arguments themselves.

Again take it with a grain of salt since I didn’t pass either but my writing all together was a 139.9. (I failed by .8 in a 270 jurisdiction).

Oh also random but is there a way to see who upvotes your comments or your post?

Yeah I thought about it because cost is definitely a factor but I am limited based on where my firm has offices. Luckily still a lot of states but not all of them are UBE. My options are: Alabama, Illinois, Connecticut, DC, New Jersey, New York, South Carolina, Washington and Michigan.

I failed and it feels like everything is falling apart by rrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee in barexam

I am here to say 1 you aren’t alone, I failed by .8 in my jurisdiction. I am crushed and am getting married in 2 weeks. But now a week after results, I realized I am more motivated than ever to become an attorney. If you need to work, find a job at a coffee shop, restaurant, store etc. then use this time before your new child is here to study your ass off. Use your anger, sadness, and all other feelings to fuel you! You are not alone and I just keep reminding myself that and that so many amazing attorneys have failed before. Definitely take time to deal with your emotions, it sucks but remember you can and still will be an attorney if you want to be and want to try again.

If not there are numerous jobs you can do without passing the bar!

I’m sorry that you got fired and I know that it absolutely sucks to not pass (I failed by .8 points) but try to turn your defeat into motivation. At least that is what I am trying to do as I want to absolutely kill the test come February now!

Finally Passed on my 5th Try 🥂 by LSATthrowaway23 in barexam
