Remember the curve guys. It exists. Not everyone who took the test is a legal eagle like most people on here.

Re: Florida Bar Exam - Official Thread
The board includes extensive validation questions on the MC (you'd be surprised how many arn't real), but just to clarify there's no "curve" the way we're using that word. The board doesn't score essays so that 65% or 70% or some number of people must pass (the absence of a curve partly explains the dramatic decrease in the pass rate over the last few years).robin600 wrote:Remember the curve guys.

I completely agree that "Safe Haven Law" was just one issue, among many issues......It changes the Due Process part, but only that State did not have to "notify" mom, because sje already "agreed" to the adoption. IF she had come forward sooner, sje could have changed her mind...the State would have had to provide her an attorney, and a hearing, etc. She just waited too long. I hate thinking about it too...stressful.hockeyman969 wrote:Dissolution of an LLC and the first multiple issue essay on MEE haunted me.

Lol, I found a resolution by the board to evaluate the UBE and the UBE subjects. I wonder if by some miracle they go UBE whether a passing UBE score trumps a failing Florida local score. Wishful thinking I know lol.sgd19 wrote:find an easier state. failed the exam 3 times and i'm ready to leave. it's almost been virtually impossible for me to find a legal job without that bar license. not even the law clerk jobs are connecting for me so been working in non-legal.DWS07224 wrote:If you didn't pass, how will you cope?

Same here, which honestly alleviates some of the stress. Would love that new associate salary though, getting married in December and weddings aren't cheap. God willing we're successful and do not have to deal with February. As "unfair" as the exam was I'm not looking for any sympathy if I didn't pass it.Young Marino wrote:This. Don't even want to give this scenario much thought unless it really happens but my firm said even if I happen to fail this sick joke of a test, I still have a job. No other choice than to get back on the saddle and retake after getting wasted although I really don't want to think about going through that process again.Derek Vinyard wrote:Get drunk, then take it again in February.DWS07224 wrote:If you didn't pass, how will you cope?

Yea it's link to a pdf on the Supreme Court's website by applicant number found on the documents they send you. I heard they tell candidates that results are up by 2pm but in actuality, they are up by 7am.Pass302 wrote:I'll be at work. Just waiting for that tweet from the Supreme Court.

My reviewer must hate me because I was able to wrestle a document they needed from the court on monday.
Then again I may get letter after Monday, they haven't asked me any questions aside from 2 documents and a cert of good standing.

Re: Florida Bar Exam - Official Thread
Indulge me, please. We all feel like MBE was what it was and if you studied enough it wasn't the worst thing in the world, right? And as far as FBE, it was a shitshow. The dependency and secured essays were like fuuuuuuuuu... and the fl con law was relatively fair. Given a pretty standard curve we should all be fine right? Right?
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
