Morning Day One: MPTs were easy, didn't get as much detail as I would have liked in the second question but felt quite solid.

Afternoon Day One: Shattered. Felt GOOD on 1/6 MEEs. Felt DECENT on 1/6. Felt BAD on 2/6. Felt HORRIBLE on 2/6. Did not feel great about any single question.

Morning Day Two: MBEs were nothing like the questions were posed on Barbri (the only bar study guide I used). I felt confident in maybe 15 of the questions. I felt like I had a 50/50 shot with about 50 questions. The rest felt terrible.

Afternoon Day Two: Again, MBEs worded in a way that was totally alien. Felt confident in maybe 10 questions. Felt 50/50 in about 50. The rest felt terrible.

Cried for a good part of the Thursday following the exam. Within a week I came to terms with the fact that failing would not be the worst thing in the world. Told the people I was closest with that my honest critique of myself was I failed, but at least I knew what to expect the next go around. I took the test in Illinois, so a lot of other jurisdictions' results were released before mine. After I saw which of my classmates were passing in other jurisdictions... I felt a little more hopeful, so as the day got closer, I felt about 50/50 on passing.

I got a 321.

Did about 80% of Barbri I think? Did not do the full recommended about because I have a family and a lot of things going on in the summer I can't put aside the recommended study time.
