Date: December 13th, 2004 6:23 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression I usually am a pretty good closer on the exam, and I was prepared and knew everything as well as could be. A couple questions threw me for a loop and I started second guessing my answers which = doom.
anyhow I found myself running out of time on a test that was not that long. I dont think I failed, but I didn't do as well as I should have.
Fuck corporations... |

Date: December 13th, 2004 6:24 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location What did you get tested on?
Was this a 3.5 hour in class? |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:30 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression poison pill, derivative suits, and preferred share conversion.
I choked and spent an hour debating what to apply.
stupid fucking ambiguous hypo.
it was a 4 hour test but could have taken 2 hours probably. |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:31 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location Sorry ;-(
We didn't talk much about any of those at all. |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:36 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression what the hell kind of corporations did you do? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786243) |

Date: December 13th, 2004 6:37 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location fiduciary duties. revlon, unocal, blasius, couple other ttt cases i am forgetting. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786253) |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:39 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression yeah we had revlon and unocal standard - in regards to poison pill stuff.
fucking tender offers that arent quite... |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:40 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location what was ambiguous about the tender offer?
did it not comply with securities regulation shit or was it just tricky? |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:45 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression whether there was a sale of control triggering revlon. There was a friendly tender offer made in response to a hostile one, but no bidding war and sale of control was not a forgone conclusion.

Date: December 13th, 2004 6:49 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression Its actually the most interesting class I've taken. not funny like torts, but the knowledge feeds my greed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786321) |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:55 PM Author: ebony nursing home Right, I'm sure for people like you, this class was great. It's going to suck for me, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786369) |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:55 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location Sounds sexy.
What was the answer? What do you mean you fucked yourself over by second guessing which test to use? |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:59 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression I am not sure - I think IF they sold control then revlon kicks in (no discrimination unless it will help your shareholders bottom line). however it was up in the air if they were going to sell controll (ala paramount v. time) so it was confusing which standard to apply to what defense.
also there was a complex math problem with preferred stock conversion that took me twice as long as I should have, because I second guessed what number to use 10 times. I think I got that one right though. |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 7:00 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location That's pretty funny you were tested on math/accounting. I WISH I were tested on that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786406) |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 7:02 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression the math was easy, dragging the right equation out of the fucking dense contract was what annoyed me.
oh well. |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 7:02 PM Author: sepia filthy weed whacker Hey, I guess we're in the same class.
I know it's unhealthy to dissect these things after the fact, but wasn't sale of control a forgone conclusion if they entered into that agreement, which was what it was asking about? |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 7:04 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression you are correct that I do not discuss things.
yes its forgone after if the contract is accepted - took me 20 minutes to see that staring me in the face. |
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:34 PM Author: Buff set What do you mean by closer? Like you finish the exam with confidence? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786227) |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:36 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression I usually do better on exams than people who are comparably prepared/intelligent.
In other words I usually test well under time pressure, but not today. |

Date: December 13th, 2004 6:47 PM Author: Magical lavender organic girlfriend becky my bf has a multiple choise corp exam this week - he is freaking out. he keeps running around the apt muttering about the sarbanes oxley act.
should he be worried re m. choice? |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:48 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression I would love multiple choice for corporations.
MC can be tough, but its tough for everyone.
Essays leave more room for annoying brain farts. |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:53 PM Author: Magical lavender organic girlfriend becky i've never taken a mulitiple choice exam in grad school - i imagine it would be bad and i would end up guessing...
he took his evidence exam today and it was all hearsay multiple choice, except there was like 10 choices for each question...he's not pleased |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 6:56 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location 10 choices?
WOW |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 7:07 PM Author: Magical lavender organic girlfriend becky yeah, like "hearsay, present sense impression" or "not hearsay, party admission" or "hearsay, no exception"
and on and on...i've honestly never seen him so upset |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 7:13 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression i wish I could have had that on my evidence too. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786496) |

Date: December 13th, 2004 7:17 PM Author: Magical lavender organic girlfriend becky why? it sounds awful (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786513) |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 7:20 PM Author: Poppy indirect expression because there is a clear difference between those three things, they just sound the same. And if the multiple choice gives you those answers to a fact pattern, it refreshes your mind and you just have to know enough about each to see what fits.

Date: December 13th, 2004 7:24 PM Author: Magical lavender organic girlfriend becky even with 10 of those? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786542) |

|
Date: December 13th, 2004 7:17 PM Author: Hairless razzmatazz sanctuary macaca I think it was similar to yours + a ridiculous policy question that I blew. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786515) |
|
Date: December 13th, 2004 8:02 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location Let's hope standards are lower. There was definitely less class attendance in property than in the 1L classes so maybe that will translate into a lot of TTT exams being written.

|
Date: December 13th, 2004 8:10 PM Author: Bistre boistinker location Dunno. I have the curves for the classes in front of me though. But too bad property and classes that everyone takes like corporations, tax, etc. are basically the same as the 1L curve. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=115868&forum_id=2#1786759) |
