Taking the Bar Exam on Monday

My bad. I haven't taken the bar, but I know about law school. Just going by what one of my former classmates said after she took, I think, the Georgia bar. She missed it by a few points. You need a 70%. As you know, that is hard as hell in and out of law school, with how they grade. Its fucked up, but that is the game the system play.
Ok, I think they used to tell you if you failed but if you pass , you just get a congratulatory letter. I remember that day fondly. I went to the mailbox at my apartment and saw the letter and just sat on the floor by the mailbox for about 10 minutes almost crying. Lol.
 
When I took it in the late 90s, I don't remember them telling you the scores. I know I did well because I was in the top 4% (96 percentile) in the barbri prep test and they say that how you did in that test is how you'd perform in the actual exam. Anyway , I didn't bother finding out how I did.
It may be different depending on which state you took it in. I took mine in Texas.
Regarding those prep tests, they are a joke IMO.
I took one with Barbri and did not do very well, but aced the actual bar exam. The questions on the actual bar exam ended up being much different than the prep test.
I knew people who were bragging about how well they did on the prep test, but ended up failing the actual bar exam.

It was helpful for me. The exam was actually very easy for me because of extreme preparation. The only time I panicked was in the last 15 minutes when I had about 11 questions to go.
I used micromash for practicals and essay . It was a program where exam graders grade and comment on your tests. You actually handwrite a test and send it in to be graded.

They have the same thing with Barbri now where you complete essay questions and have them graded. That part was helpful.
Our school did the same thing, but had impossibly hard essay questions in order to get us ready (and freak out a little).
I never had an issue with time even taking bathroom breaks during the test. By that 3rd and last day I was so drained mentally I think I slept for a whole day after that.
 
Im waiting on that day too man. So, I can say goodbye to any boss I every had. With the degree, I will be able to do a few things I can't do now. Want a practice where I do closings and other real estate transactions. Also, some wills and estate work along with that. Should do pretty good. Another of my former classmates will do SSI disability for Vets, you know the drill have people working for you under your umbrella, and you cash out. Its some paper to be made out there. Just need a little creativity and some hard work and a law degree gains you access to those areas. If you got patience and work ethic, in time you can make good money without the pressure and stress of contract, tort or criminal law. I got to go back. I will be back in next fall, come hell or high water.
Yes , real estate transactions and title litigation can be very rewarding and it's not as competitive as personal injury or BK. If you handle all facets of real estate , you will always have enough work, sometimes too much work. I do it all, including foreclosures.
If you maintain good relationship with realtors and builders, you will be in good shape.

I have to warn you that it is actually more stressful than most areas of law because of the potential amount of money that you can lose if you fuck up. But it's more rewarding because you make more money per time spent on any work. For example , there are some things where you can make $2500 and you only spent 40 minutes on it, or $30k for 8 hours of actual work.

Study only the big six you learned first year. Even the written questions go back to the big six. I scored in the top 10% in the country on the multistate portion.

I had a buddy of mine who failed it twice, and he went to Cornell, Harvard Law. Ohio is notoriously hard for some reason nobody could understand. He took it in either DC or Virginia I don't know and he passed.

Good luck family. Don't stress you'll make it. We're all rooting for you. What area of Law is your specialty

You don't specialize out of law school until you start practicing. Every law student has to pass the same exam to be considered for admission to the bar. Even after that you have to go through a "fitness to practice" process. This precludes many BGOL members. In fact, I'm surprised how a member on here became a lawyer. Very hot tempered older guy you might know him. Not PApi68, he's a true professional.

Some get jobs out of Law School, which started them on the line to a specialty. My friend worked at Jones Day downtown Cleveland. He lost the job once he failed the bar the second time, his wife was kind of a spoiled bitch and didn't help him out like she should have.

Now he works as a labor lawyer at a firm in DC. I'm not surprised that many members on here have different Specialties, even if it belies their personality. Once I get my community business going I'm going to ask the help and knowledge of many people on this board. A lot of people on this board from a lot of fields
 
Luck is when opportunity meets preparation!!! You put the work in so believe in what's inside you! What's for you will be! Relax some!!

You have to be talking about Amajorfucup.... :lol:

Have fun with your new career OP. :cheers:
 
Get a good nights sleep. Licensed in NY and DC. Did well enough on the multistate to waive into DC.

If you don't pass this time, go back and take it again. Take it again and again until you pass. There's always room for another good lawyer....

When I first joined he wasn't nearly as cantankerous, then within the last two years he's upped the ratchetness and aggression.

Nonetheless he's still one of only a handful of handles I respect, with his ol Deadskins loving ass.
