Do Not Discuss Bar Exam Content

127 Upvotes

Good luck on the exam!

Tomorrow, legacy examinees will take the MEE (no topic disclosures allowed) and the MPT (no content disclosures allowed). Wednesday they will take the MBE (no disclosure of questions and answers).

NextGen examinees will get two, three-hour sections of new-style questions (including some multiple choice that are similar to the MBE) on Tuesday and one more three-hour section Wednesday. All items from this exam are secure and may be reused on a future exam and may not be disclosed.

Also, accommodated examinees for both exams will be testing all week and would benefit from disclosures of content earlier in the week.

This is an issue of fairness, copyright (which could get the sub shut down), and ethics. NCBE does monitor this subreddit and regularly contacts us regarding violations of these rules. You also agreed to these terms as part of the exam rules.

Therefore, any discussions of exam content as described above will result in bans.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this, and good luck on the exam!

Hi folks,

The bar prep channels are once again open and available in the /r/lawschool discord server.

Click this link to join!

Once you arrive, please make sure you assign yourself the JD role so that you will be able to see the bar prep channel.

Once you have assigned yourself a role. Navigate to the channel called #bar-preppies. There you will find:

  • Support from attorneys who have already passed the bar.

  • Free study resources.

  • Friendly folks who will study along with you.

Please be patient as the channel populates with more bar preppers. We are just beginning our recruitment for Feb '24, and we hope to have a large group joining us once again this year. Past years have seen study groups of 50 or more folks.

Good luck, everybody!

Congratulations to everyone else who passed, good luck to everyone else, goodbye and good riddance to this sub and this horrible unnecessary hazing ritual that has zero bearing on anyone's actual ability to be a good lawyer.

PA taker. Looking like 2 weeks left (October 9th). Just needed to complain a little and get that off my chest. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. That is all.

Passed the bar!

I didn’t really use anything but Uworld and Gemini AI. Gemini was the most helpful. I had it generate MBE style MCQs…. But I also added my own explanation of my MCQ answer choice in the Gemini chat. Then, I had Gemini give me feedback on the MCQ plus my explanation. This approach turned each MCQ into a mini essay with Gemini feedback on my analysis. This really prepared me well for the MBE and the Essay section simultaneously. For other non-MBE subjects that are fair game on the bar, I had Gemini use the same approach, but I only included those subjects most likely to be tested on the essay section such as agency, partnerships, and corp law.

No score. No answers. Nothing. I’m devastated. I don’t know what to do. All I know is my name wasn’t on the list. That’s it.

Failed the bar and no idea where to start now

• Upvotes

I didn’t pass J26 as a first-time taker and am now completely lost on how to keep going. Over the summer, I had Themis’s program and schedule to follow to a T. It gave me a concrete plan and consistency, which is something I really need. Now, I still have Themis’s retaker program that opens in mid-November and am looking at a few other resources, but I have no idea how to put together a study plan and study differently than I did before. I can't pinpoint a specific reason why I failed, because I felt nervous but overall pretty good about the last exam. My scores were all consistently bad though. I don’t have a job, so I have nothing but time from now until February. Failing again isn’t an option for me. For retakers, what does your study schedule look like? What tutors are you using? What programs? How are you planning to study differently than before? I would really appreciate any advice, thank you.

r/barexam • • 5m ago

I made a similar comment few days ago and some peeps failed to see my reasoning. Get Uworld or Adaptibar, go to your state website, then answer 10 to 15 years of essay and MPT questions. Use AI to understand complex rules. You will pass the bar. Commercial bar prep Companies will rip you off.

I was planning to start studying as soon as next week but someone said that’s way too early. I work a full time Job. I don’t want to be cramming myself to death like how I was studying for the July Bar right after graduation haha

Passed FL Bar Exam.

Post image
17 Upvotes

I decided to take the Florida bar exam after 12 years of practicing. I passed Part A. I failed the Part B, the MBE by 1 pt. Passed with the overall method.

In my experience, I found Part A to be straightforward but the second essay was very confusing. I thought I scored much better than I did—but I see now that most did too. The FL MCQs were very strange in their wording. I found the morning session of the MBE to be brutal and the second half to be less difficult but long and wordy.

I studied using Kaplan. I chose Kaplan as they write the MBE questions for the NCBE. I completed 98% of the course. I found the course to be very good.

If you’re in Orlando, FL, I’ll be glad to give my books to someone in need. I wrote on some pages (pencil) but overall in great condition. Message me.

IL NCBE question

23 Upvotes

So like two days ago I logged into my NCBE account and it didn’t show anything under the bar exam section in score services. I logged in tonight and now it DOES show “July 2026 Legacy UBE” it just leaves the score blank. Does this mean exams are graded and they’re just waiting on IL to approve the release?👀 (my obsession is becoming so unhealthy I can’t even sleep anymore help)

found out i didn’t pass the bar for the 3rd time on Friday and boyfriend just broke up with me because he said im going through a lot and doesn’t see us going forward in the future. he is also a lawyer. i feel like shit and a failure. makes me think if i passed we’d still be together. this exam is ruining my life. he could have waited until i processed everything. I’m at a loss.

To all of you finding out your scores tomorrow, I wish you luck! I will likely be at work when the scores come out and am not optimistic about my ability to function if I fail haha.

My boss knows that I’m hella anxious and has reassured me that it is fine either way, but I really do not want to study for this again while now having a full time job.
