I want to move to a district with the Consent to Fight rule. Sure enough, there was a consent to fight question. LOL So far, I haven't spoken to anyone who's ever heard of this. I did a quick google search and apparently it is a thing in some states. But my top result yielded a Canadian law on it. ...

I know a guy in that neighborhood. Once his hand got sucked in a ‘98 landmower. You know, the ones without the protective screen. Apparently he is rich now.

So, the website is down and can't print my ticket. Guessing this is not uncommon with this shit show?

Same here. They sent us a reminder email to print our ticket, which we can't print. I really wonder what kind of childhood these people had.

We have a lot in common lol. I’m actually amazed about the fact that not as many people as I expected express their anger about the CA bar/NCBE sadism. And I was still hoping for a decrease in the cut score. Sigh. I felt much more comfortable pointing out the bullshit of the CBE after it was reveal...

How nuts would it be to not study future estates? I just haven’t thus far and feel like rolling the dice considering the risk reward of it all. In the last 3 bar exams I don’t recall running into them at all. Not even a single MBE question (maybe just life estates). Now I basically know life estate...

...They have the February bloodbath and then follow it up with something less awful in July. Then they can say, "See! Scores improved by 22%!", while no longer counting the people who don't finish the exam. The disingenuous of the Committee of Bar Examiners is galling. Bah, whatever. Once we pass, ...

[...] I do expect more traditional types of essays this time. I can't say why, but I just do. It seems like the July essays get less batshit than the February ones. Probably because they need to bash on those "lazy february low-tier repeaters" to show that the bar exam is not becomign more difficul...

Weird Q but I've never used Examplify before. Does the alarm feature work during the exam? I don't know. I just bring a watch and practice that way. I have no faith that anything in the software is going to work properly, so it's best to avoid counting on it. I used it last time and, even if I don'...

Absolutely agree with it! I usually even start the conclusory sentence and leave it at the bottom. That’s the cherry on top for being responsive. Together with the beginning of the PT it’s probably the easiest point-awarding part of the PT.

Of course, we are all on the same boat! And I seriously doubt that between 50% and 70% of the people who apply for the CA Bar (who will fail) aren't smart. Anyway, I agree with the PT strategy. It's basically an IRAC where the issue is what they ask you in the task memo, rule from the library, analy...

Welp, I'm fucking burnt out. Just wanted to say that. Anyway... I think I'm going to do the PT first during the afternoon session. I'd kicked this idea around before, but didn't do it. However, after a practice PT yesterday in which another 10 minutes would've given me a significantly better score,...

Homeowner is charged with arson of his own house. Is evidence that he insured his home against fire admissible to prove his motive to burn the house down? A. Yes B. No Yes. I understand that it's not being offered to prove his guilt (so it doesn't violate the policy exclusion of legal relevance), bu...

Painter contracts with homeowner to paint his house for $1,000. Homeowner is not satisfied of the job and refuses to pay (in good faith). Painter keeps caling him to get paid. Eventually, homeowner sends him a letter saying "I'll give you $800, but only if you agree to repaint the house". No respons...

Thank you, sweetie. And let us know in November if your strategy of ignoring the advice of who already went through it paid off. I'm sure you'll pass. EDIT: Oh, and please be mean. That turns me on, big boy <3 I'm gonna guess he's someone who just got accepted into law school and his trying to have...

How are people studying for PR? Do you guys think doing mpre questions from Barbie is a good study method? And then just memorizing CA distinctions? You probably want to do essays, not MPRE multiple-choice questions. Why do I need To do essays? I went to hys, I know how to write essays What’s You d...

Here's one. "Which of the following parties cannot be protected as a bona fide purchaser of land? A) A donee from a bona fide purchaser of the land. B) A purchaser from an heir to the land. C) A devisee of the land. D) A mortgagee of the land. ------ Answer: A devisee of the land (c) cannot be prot...

As a momentary distraction and exercise in procrastination, anyone care to come up with essay predictions? They're as useful as all the other predictions by the so called pros on the internet (see "useless). Here's mine UCC Evidence (I'll say California, but they're almost the same anyway) Business...

Anyone care to tell me how the grading will be scaled if you're just taking the Attorney's Exam? I'm confused as to how these x/100 get to a scaled score and what I need to do in terms of points to pass. Not that it really matters to my studying. The extremely low pass rate on the Attorney's Exam b...

Update: apparently, they sent this email to some bar retakers to allow them to participate in the revolutionary program: Thank you for recently registering for the California Bar Exam. After hearing from many of you, the State Bar is making available a pilot program designed to help you prepare to s...

Can someone explain how the grading works compared to the UBE? How many questions do you need right to get a 1440 on the mbe? It differs from exam to exam and is determined by the NCBE. To get the CA equivalent, take the scaled MBE score (the conversation table which they don't publish anymore but ...

Interesting read. I definitely agree with a lot of what the author wrote. No, seriously. You can no longer sign up for the [Productive Mindset Intervention Program] that, according to the Executive Director of the State Bar of California on May 18th, had just been “recently launched” for the July 20...

Well, results are out and here I am. Still waiting for the scores in the mail but I assume I didn't score a 150+ on the MBE so here's my question: what is a good source to study for the MBE? I feel like they are introducing a lot of new tested topics (eg: real property fair housing, brokerage, etc....
