MBE - how'd you feel? Forum

[Lobolaw1984]

Oh look someone managed to bring up the LSAT in a thread entitled "MBE - how'd you feel?" Well, this is what happens when you're not allowed to discuss the questions.

What the hell is that? This isn't reddit or youtube, why say that?

Oh sure go tell someone to kill themselves. I actually had to google that cause I don't spend all day on forums like you and know every abbreviation. Maybe if you abbreviate it though it will lessen any seriousness to what you're saying or any moral dilemma you might have. Why do you think it's okay to say something like this? You have no idea what is going on in that person's life.

mm seems like an over the top response. damn guys. Whatever, honestly, the end point is the NCBE is going to do what it wants to do regardless of what is said here.

Call me old fashioned but I really don't appreciate people telling me to kill myself. And honestly I'm pretty sure any experiment in saying this to someone in real life would not bode well for me. But yes, it's the internet and people say retard, kill yourself, get cancer etc. It's pretty pathetic people can casually say stuff like this, but that's really neither here nor there.

I get it, i meant the "kys" if it stands for what you think it does was an over the top response.

I agree that was completely inappropriate.

Hey man, I see what you're saying now, it's all good. I just think for me this whole experience has completely dominated my life and I studied so frigging hard that I legit read the CMR for the mbe subjects at least 10x, which I'm sure many other people have. And I was able to finish each section with about 20 mins left and I know some people probably didn't even finish, but it's like I just want my efforts to actually shine through. I was pretty disappointed to see so many civ pro questions that weren't on jurisdiction or removal. I mean, it's not like I don't understand res judicata or collateral estoppel, it's just that it's much easier to explain than it really is to apply on a multiple choice question. I could still know it and still get it wrong. I just hope that didn't happen too many times. For me, I felt like there were so many questions where I was like "okay I know the answer, but fuck, it's not really written the way I'd like it to be, this looks the least incorrect." And then you just gotta move on.

You probably passed.

I've been able to convince myself that I passed. Maybe My mental health is at risk

I figure if I just think I failed, and tell everyone that I think I failed, then it won't be a surprise when I do fail. And then if I pass, well then I pass. It's really a win-win.

Exactly, lol.

That's what I, and nearly everyone I've talked to, did. I would know the applicable rule, and what the answer should be, but it wouldn't be one of the four answer choices. I'd often have it narrowed down to the two "yes" or "no" answers, and then had to decide which explanation was closest to the answer I'd formed in my head before looking at the answers. I'd occasionally see exactly the answer that I'd formed in my head in the answer choices, but that didn't happen as often as I would've liked.

I know a lot of people are complaining about NY moving to the UBE, but honestly, my understanding is the UBE just asks you what the rule is to apply to the fact pattern. That sounds far more pertinent to actual law than the MBE's logic game fail shenanigans.

Don't the UBE states use the MBE?

[Lord Randolph McDuff]

Haha sorry, but the MBE is the second day of the UBE.

[sd5289]

The UBE + the MBE?

Nevermind, that sounds worse.

[5ky]

mbe is part of the ube.

1) I managed to go through an entire Kaplan course without learning what a "nonconforming use" is. How is that possible? Was I simply not paying attention? Did I maybe not get to the QBank question that was supposed to teach me that doctrine?

2) Lol wills questions - experimental? Not actually wills? What was going on there?

3) PM was easier than AM. Not sure why. I was very time pressed. I keep telling myself that I passed, that there were plenty of dumbasses in that exam...but who knows.

mod edit: user has been banned for talking about a specific question/answer

lol that question tied me up b/c i knew sexual battery was a thing as well, but I don't think that is what intended.

But yeah, that's just another example of a terrible question. Considering everything, these people are pretty awful at creating questions that actually do what they intend, unless they actually intend to confuse people who know the law very well into selecting the wrong answer just because of a poorly worded and designed question. If that is their intention, then they're spot on.

So if we interpreted it as a torts question then we got it right? NCBE gonna be like "Nope, it was a sexual battery questions fuck y'all"

It's not a minimally competent test. It's a test to see if your way of thinking about things is susceptible to their shitty designed questions. That's how I'm thinking of it, fail or pass.

My memory of the actual test is a blur. I've managed to block out of the details of the test, and now I only have a generalized dread of failing. I keep reminding myself that, pass or fail, the results don't come out for four months so I have to learn to live without thinking about it.

[cdelgado]

I'm just relying on the fact that the MBE accounts for a 1/3 in my jurisdiction.

[nyny]

That one was a tricky one and I got it wrong sheesh... But thinking back it discribe statutory rape, so you would have to go the crim law way not tort way... Then all that's left is battery...

I think by just saying "battery" that they wanted a tort analysis, but who knows.
