Date: April 27th, 2012 12:50 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig describe how you screwed up the NY essays. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20560180) |
Date: April 27th, 2012 12:58 PM Author: Greedy Wine Cruise Ship Sweet Tailpipe supposedly it is very hard to fail NY with a 140+.
you should be fine. |
|
Date: April 27th, 2012 1:09 PM Author: razzle offensive toilet seat rigor I knew a dood who failed NY with a 143, but that was scaled. I think they told us during bar review that they'd never heard of anyone failing with a 140 raw score.
I'd suspect it's pretty hard to fail with a 140+ scaled score as well. (the dood I knew was in the hospital all of July and literally didn't study NY material at all) |
|
Date: April 27th, 2012 1:16 PM Author: Greedy Wine Cruise Ship Sweet Tailpipe my mbe was in the 140s. wrote SPS essays.
passed. |
|
Date: April 27th, 2012 8:08 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit i screwed up one particular essay - more specifically its two subsections. I did analyze facts but reached wrong conclusions.
did poorly on the MPT - running out of time. |

|
Date: April 27th, 2012 8:16 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit mpt: formtted correctly and included a lot of key details but did not have time to analyze the case law closely
essay 4: 4 subsections. I reached the wrong conclusions in two of them. however, I did state rules before applying them to facts. |

Date: April 27th, 2012 8:31 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig oh the torts one? that was a tricky one (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20562820) |
|
Date: April 27th, 2012 8:37 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit i completely screwed up 1 or 2 on another bar exam. passed it though. I wonder what my MBE score is. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20562864) |

|
Date: April 27th, 2012 8:42 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit good luck bro
the only comfort is that I am already working in the state where I have passed. took it the first time. it has also saved me a lot of embarrassment. If I retake NY it will be much easier for me too (less stress ) |
|
Date: April 27th, 2012 8:44 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig thanks. i thought the MPT was incredibly tricky because it was not the traditional memo format.
i also kinda messed up the corporations stuff but i dont know now |
|
Date: April 27th, 2012 8:49 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit MPT - really, it's the content, not format, that counts. I am guessing though.
corporations stuff - might as well have made it up. as far as i remeber it's only a subsection. |
|
Date: April 27th, 2012 8:50 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig yeah it was a subsection. i have no clue about the NYMC questions as I just made the best guesses I could (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20562936) |
|
Date: April 28th, 2012 3:07 PM Author: Beady-eyed Orchid Abode My situation precisely. MPT was virtually no analysis but did the format and facts, missed the defamation SOL, corporations wasn't really clear I don't think, and I messed up wills. February scale amounts to needing to do like 20 points better than in July. How likely am I to pass? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20566780) |
|
Date: April 28th, 2012 3:26 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig what do u mean u missed the defamation SOL? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20566900) |
|
Date: April 28th, 2012 3:40 PM Author: Beady-eyed Orchid Abode I said SOL was 3 years not 1. Also, wrote about long-arm jurisdiction for torts (not realizing defamation is an exception) but also wrote that consent to the suit bring him within NYs jurisdiction. I wrote everything I could about every question but dont know where the points are. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20567011) |
|
Date: April 28th, 2012 3:59 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig oh i wrote about consent but didnt say he consented. it was because the guy committed the tort when he was still domiciled in ny. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20567090) |

|
Date: April 28th, 2012 5:11 PM Author: Beady-eyed Orchid Abode Crapshoot. I did 130 something on another exam and passed. Did more questions and used the kaplan qbank for this exam.

|
Date: May 1st, 2012 1:27 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit chill, bro. I wouldn't mind retaking just to add a line to my resume. if it was not a feb exam i'd almost be certain that i passed. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 1:41 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig umm what's wrong with taking the feb exam? are u one of those people who says shit like "feb exam is harder for reason X, Y, Z"? dont start with me on that shit.
FEB exam is NOT harder than july. the july 2011 essays were much more difficult than FEB 2012's essays and you know that. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 1:47 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit you think so? i did not take the july exam. based on what i read on this board this is not the case. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 1:48 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig look at the posted july 2011 essays and then tell me. they cannot make one administration harder (in terms of grading) than another -- that's inherently unfair. you just see lower passage rates because most feb takers are foreigners/repeaters as opposed to july folks who are mainly 1st time takers. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20589365) |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 1:51 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit so how are the essay scores scaled? according to the distribution of MBE scores? |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 1:52 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig i dont know that--that's up to the bar examiners. supposedly that's the rumor, but it could be very well be false. they have their own secret formula. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20589380) |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 1:55 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit in NY 133 is the passing score. I am certain that I passed MBE and perhaps the NYMC by a wide margin. I am worried about the essays. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 1:56 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig I'm worried about the pesky MPT and MBE and NYMC. essays are the only thing i've got on my side. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20589404) |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 2:06 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit why is it that even among feb first-time takers the pass rate is about 10% lower than july first-time takers. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20589466) |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 2:08 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig because there are less first time takers in feb than in july.
i am a first timer too. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 2:10 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit sorry pardon me on this does fewer first-time takers translate into a lower pass rates in general? |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 2:13 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig basically, yes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20589511) |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 2:14 PM Author: Irradiated elite orchestra pit now this would make more sense but I would have felt more secure if it was a july exam. |
|
Date: May 1st, 2012 2:16 PM Author: 180 gaming laptop codepig i agree with you on that but intelligent people fail july so it's not foolproof. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1934443&forum_id=2#20589535) |
