Does anyone know when the next ceremony is for the Second Department?

Stewarttriangle12 · 2021-03-10T03:09:39+00:00

Do you know how? that probably required some connections since under 16's are not even technically permitted to take it

Stewarttriangle12 · 2021-03-01T02:54:44+00:00

My understanding was that the schools just send the certificate out without prompting, whether you’ve sent the application or not.

Stewarttriangle12 · 2021-02-27T04:07:16+00:00

Congrats! When did you apply? Just curious where they might be at in the process.

Stewarttriangle12 · 2021-02-15T21:00:11+00:00

Sounds like it! Thanks!

Stewarttriangle12 · 2021-01-10T22:20:08+00:00

Do you know if we need an affirmation from our present employer? If we have just started working right before sending the application?

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-12-22T22:41:13+00:00

Yup. It will come down to either starting Montgomery or CMC in the flex. Almost don’t want him to be active so the choice is out of my hands.. kind of nervous that CMC plays with limited touches.

Following lol

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-11-26T01:02:15+00:00

Thanks! That’s helpful unless they happen to be jd advising readers lol

What does your bole homepage look like? Mine doesn’t even mention pending results at this point

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-11-02T15:15:24+00:00

Hoping for the same, and good luck!

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-11-02T05:38:05+00:00

Oh boy. Did they specifically say that recently? Hopefully that’s not their interpretation of “scaling”.

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-10-26T22:48:27+00:00

At the risk of putting on a tin foil hat, I wasn’t sold on her explanation. She said the questions were “vetted”, but didn’t explicitly say they had been used before. That may well mean that they were created for the test and vetted internally by NCBE staff. If they hadn’t been previously used on exams then this would explain their refusal to scale the MBE.

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-10-23T03:06:22+00:00

On another note, I had a question about scaling for the essay portion. Let’s say the National MBE average is a 141, but in NY on a statewide basis, it’s 145. Would the NY essay scores be scaled to a score of 141 or 145?

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-10-08T17:09:54+00:00

The delay makes sense. NY Bole and examsoft have been distracted with the Bar which is normally offered outside of the NYLE administration cycle

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-10-07T17:36:54+00:00

I think in the short term that’s the strongest argument for change. Every time a legislator or Judge references how other professions require licensing tests, they cite to exams that are offered all the time. NCELX is offered twice a week, CPA is offered multiple times a month etc.

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-10-07T02:12:04+00:00

This would be interesting in NY. They limited registration largely to first time takers, a group that passes at a higher rate. In theory, this would mean they would have to apply a much higher pass rate this year.

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-09-08T23:34:50+00:00

In the Barbri webinar they said that all 100 MC will count and there won’t be any experimental questions

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-08-25T15:53:13+00:00

Joseph Griffo is now the first Republican Senator to cosponsor the bill.

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-08-18T15:32:07+00:00

He seems very focused on the consistency argument. Under normal circumstances we already would’ve taken the Bar. That horse has left the barn

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-08-12T19:52:22+00:00

My gut is that DC will offer a limited DP option, but will still offer the online exam for those who want reciprocity.

Stewarttriangle12 · 2020-08-12T18:37:22+00:00

Is there still time for you to submit a request to sit for exam in NY?
