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)

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.

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?

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.
