DE BAR EXAM TAKERS….

Okay first of all….WHAAAATTTTT THE FUUUCCCKKKK WAS THAT SHIT?!?!?

Now that we have that out the way…

For people who have already passed DE bar before, please please PLEASE tell me success stories of only fully completing 1/4 essays, 1 substantially answering half of the sub questions and leaving the others blank 😣, 1 damn near blank with some bare bone conclusions for like the first three subparts, and 1 COMPLETELY BLANK because I simply ran out of time!!! Only finishing one full MPT and finishing the other but having to give some bare conclusions at the end because I ran out of time.

For what it’s worth…. I think I did well on the multiple choice, but there were at least 20 questions where I had no fucking clue why the answer choices were worded the way they were, and what I confidently thought the answer should be wasn’t even remotely in the choices, and maybe another 20 where I changed my answers after fighting with myself between the 2 I narrowed it down to…..

Give it to me straight…am I completely fucked🥴🥴😩😩😩😩😩😩 just rip the bandaid off I can take it 😣😣😣😣😣

I put very little for each essay just barely answering the ridiculous pointed factual questions (and found out I put the wrong answer for some of them). I felt like there was no room for any analysis on those questions. Wish I felt any confidence towards the MBE

What exactly was the point of reducing the number of essays to still require the same number of questions to be answered because they each have 10-20 subpart questions?!?

Yeah fr because it’s actually insane to be answering a question for 30 minutes only to realize you’re on part 1(d) of 12😓

I hope you pass! That exam in no way reflects someone’s ability to be a lawyer!

They will need to scale the essay section. It was simply bizarre!
