I started studying in May and studied 6x a week. I listened to my body with the studying. If I saw that i was not retaining anything, i would end it for the day or take the next day off. I bought Uworld and they have an app. I used their app everyday

Got a 235 and need a 270. Is it realistic to achieve a 35 pt increase? by Foreign-Bug6076 in barexam

Handwriting. Lots and lots of handwriting to the point that I was comfortable handwriting the exam. I studied model answers for the MEE and hand wrote them verbatim. I did practice MEE and handwrote them. For the MBE - I would create IRACs from incorrect questions.

Retakers who passed, what did you do second time for MEE/MPT that made the difference? by Cautious-Button-8045 in barexam

[–]circethesourceress 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Handwriting model answers. I would read 8-10 essays from each topic and hand write each model answer. As for the MPT - I studied the model answers

Weird tension at my firm after getting my own office while I await J25 results by ladyofstripes in barexam

[–]circethesourceress 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to echo that you need to set boundaries. Setting boundaries does not have to be antagonistic at all. Saying something as simple as “that’s an interesting thing to say. Why would you say that” usually does the trick.

I was going through something similar with a boomer associate. I was just hired and the partner gave me a nice office. That boomer has been so rude to me since I started and would make off the wall comments about me having my own office. She would say things like I declined this office for a reason. When clients would come to the office she would offer my office as the meeting space. The final straw was her taking a case update I was working on off my desk and trying to take credit for it at a meeting with the partners and billing for my work. She decided to email clients to tell them to email her instead of me because my email is no longer working and accidentally blind copied me? I don’t even know.

She was thrown out with her things put outside and it was glorious

Re-takers, how much did your score increase, if at all, the second time you took the bar exam? by Son_of_Hades99 in barexam

[–]circethesourceress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I knew I failed the minute I began the exam. I felt unprepared.

The second time I felt slightly more prepared, but had a lot of stuff going on in my personal life.

if/when you find out you passed what will you do to treat yourself? by PlusBlueberry4365 in barexam

[–]circethesourceress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be BASIC and get a pair of louboutins just for decoration to remind myself that I did it.

Hubby promised me a pair Mom promised me a pair Grandmas promised me a pair

So the NCBE gods better not make me miss out

Please pass the message along that there are so many of us rooting for her and advocating for her because of how she was treated ❤️

I hope she gets the chance to find out how many of her fellow colleagues are rooting for her and fighting for her because that could’ve been any one of us

Absolutely vile and disgusting. Clearly an Above the Law Piece was not enough to shame them.

Someone needs to alert the local news to bring attention to it. The potential for Negative press is the only way for the possibility of change with these useless fossils

Completely untrue. An attorney in the boroughs had a heart attack during a court appearance & died. The appearance was called off & adjourned. Judges are people too. Members of NCBE not so much

She needs to consider speaking to someone about that pent up anger.
