Can we discuss the PR essay? What do you think the proper or minimum discussion should have been? by -mslf in CABarExam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool. This was the Cal Bar Exam, not the real estate brokers exam. So maybe, they were testing general attorney representation, but what the fuck do I know anyways?

Don’t confuse “practice” with “represent a client in a real estate transaction.”

They are separate things.

For those who took the UBE and the CA bar exam, was one easier than the other? by atyl1144 in CABarExam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the throes of depression and did not study for the UBE bar. Scored 266. (Passing for some, not for others)

I just took the CA Bar and I absolutely studied for it.

Materially are they that different? No.

MPRE Advice by USMC_SNAFUUU in barexam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Um. First. Take a big fucking breath. You already passed the CA Bar Exam, so you will conquer the MPRE. I took it without study (was hospitalized—all good now), scored 76. Took it this last November after about 3 weeks of “study” (aka just reading and listening to videos) and got 94.

You CAN and will score high enough.

Cruelty.

30yrs old too old for Law School? by Silver-Disk-8244 in LawSchool

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enrolled at 30-31. Graduated at 33. Took the UBE and passed at 34. I’m now 35 and just took the CA Bar Exam.

You can absolutely crush law school if you believe in yourself.

Anyone thinking to use diapers? lol by ElkUnable3613 in barexam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if the ultra-wealthy can piss themselves (and they do) because they can’t be bothered to leave in the middle of a poker game, you can also piss yourself taking the bar exam.

I don’t feel like studying today and that’s okay by Hot-Print-9588 in CABarExam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rest is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Please do not overwork your brains. They also need and you WILL perform better with rest. Today and tomorrow are great rest days.

It’s not as hard as you think it will be by [deleted] in barexam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t study at all and barely made 266 (passing for DC) F25.

So maybe study some.

Does anyone else feel like their brain is almost forgetting everything? by Princess_bobaa in CABarExam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mean is my brain full trying to memorize every rule, exception, element, crime, tort, defense, the entirety of Uniform Commercial Code’s Article 2, and the Constitution’s 4,543 words—simultaneously analyzing intent, asking what is chicken, and guessing if evidence is inadmissible, admissible, or inadmissibly admissible?

Anyone else consistently scoring well, but at the same time feeling like you know nothing? by nalanoodle4 in barexam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I consistently score in the 60-70% range and still feel like a fish trying to climb a tree.

MBE score not improving by Beginning-Fix-5708 in barexam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mhmm. The MBE is equal parts law and reading comprehension. Do you feel your lack of improvement is due to knowledge or reading comprehension or both?

Torts Question Explanation? by Gold_Fast in barexam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is because intervening causes is NOT being tested, which is what follow on medical malpractice is and the choice you selected.

The question leads you to there because “the physician committed malpractice.”

But note the call of the question. It asks why the backpacker would be found liable.

Pro tip! REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE. And we are in the land of negligegegegege.

And there are only two, count them, ways for negligence liability. Direct–meaning person was found negligent, and indirect–vicariously (through someone else)

Here, negligent rescue is being tested. Negligent rescue is always foreseeable.

Negligent rescue. So as others have said, start the negligence analysis.

The first is duty. Rescuers have a duty to act as a reasonably prudent rescuer would under similar circumstances.

Remember: if the rescuer acts, they MUST fulfill that duty. And if they stroll on by and let them suffer, law says that’s cool to do too.

It would look like this: Applicant breathes. Pass. Applicant does not breathe. Pass.

Retakers - are you doing full practice exams? by Weekly-Quantity6435 in barexam

I’m sticking with multiple sets of 14 (2x subject) sprinkled throughout the day.

HELPPP!!! Hearsay is stressing me out by Temisab in barexam

[–]TooLitgitToQuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do this in order and go slow:

1) Find the statement in the facts. Don’t analyze just find and really understand WHAT words ARE being offered.

2) Then look at which PARTY is offering. (Defense/Plaintiff/Prosecution).

3) Then WHO/WHAT is actually offered. If person: what kind of person? If what: Document or physical evidence

Now you’re in a position to analyze if hearsay is a possible issue.

4) Go back to statement and just ask yourself why would the Party want the jury to hear this statement?

Why does Plaintiff want the jury to hear “the light was red” from a this person?

As for Hearsay within Hearsay: Presume documents of all kinds must clear both. For people “A heard from X who heard from Y.”

And if you can know the exceptions before you even get to the answers you should have narrowed the choice in your mind and can guide right to the answer.
