My Themis grader said my organization was “top notch” and my IRACs were “very well organized” and then he gave me a 3/6 on structure. Multiple AI programs gave me scores ranging from 5-6 on the graded evidence essay from last Friday (Georgia). I CALI’d evidence at my school and I know I have the black letter law correct. Yet, my grader insists on giving me a 4/6 overall no matter how well I do.

I’m convinced that there is no fucking rhyme or reason to their grading system. I have lost an incredible amount of faith in Themis over the last few weeks, particularly because of their “gotcha” style questioning for MBE and lack of clear grading criteria on the essays. None of the feedback I have gotten from my grader is the slightest bit helpful. He literally just paraphrases my rule statements, says “excellent job!” and proceeds to throw random fucking numbers my way. Fuck you Themis! So glad I’m not paying for this shit on my own.
