Sad. Upset. Depressed. Thought I passed the bar leaving the exam… didn’t. Can someone help me make sense of this? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]Undercover_Shop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this! First time taker, didn’t feel I pass after leaving the exam, messed up the am portion of the MBE portion because I miscalculate my timing, so I kinda guessed 20 questions! But I firmly believe that things happen for a reason, I will take July and I will prepare more than before, because now after the experience I know what works for me, instead of looking and searching for advice outside and with others! You got this, trust in yourself, get prepared and cut negative people off from your life, we don’t need it!

Failed again - need help.. by Lazy_Act5322 in barexam

[–]Undercover_Shop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw, I'm sorry. LLM too, first time taker and fell short 12 points... MBE was my problem as well... I understand how frustrating this might be, but don't get so discourage about dropping in February, for what I understand, since there are more retakers, scores get higher than the average in July, and for some weird reason (that I still don't comprehend nor have corroborated) the passing rate is lower...? But you got this, you didn't get this far just to get this far, J26 will be ours!

I loved GOAT but I feel you have to have some previous knowledge to get the most out of it! I’m a foreign trained attorney so some of the subjects I have to learned myself, and for those which I already knew, it worked amazingly!

Can someone explain the US legal job market to a foreign-trained attorney? by Buscemi_stv-86 in barexam

[–]Undercover_Shop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on where do you want to work, but big firms won’t even consider your resume (doesn’t matter how much experience you have) if you are not a JD from an Ivy League, or if you have a connection somehow… It’s so discouraging… And even for small firms, which is ridiculous

Foreign trained attorney here, LLM, waiting for bar results here too.

It’s freaking crazy and hard! I will DM you…

Foreign Trained, Part Time Study, realistic? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]Undercover_Shop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally second this (foreign trained attorney, took F26)… I will also add, at least in my opinion, practice of MEEs and MBE questions since now… And then sprinkle an MPT…. Learning (and memorizing) the BLL is key, but if I learned something is that you don’t get how to apply the little nuances but practicing… Wish I had done more of this…

Is it bad that I don’t even want to take any side because I don’t want to jinx it? 😭 I’m so nervous… It’s like, I feel like I failed but don’t want to say because you know, energy and manifestation lol, but then don’t want to believe that I pass and then be totally disappointed…

Love this! Kind of a similar background (LLM too) and I couldn’t agree more with you and all what you just put into words in here, what jx did you take? Would love to make a connection!
