1.) didn't outside of the Qs at the end of each video.
2.) just bring the packet they give you in and you'll be fine.

Re: NY Law Exam

Re: NY Law Exam
I wouldn't be surprised if the examsoftware prevents control + f (no matter what file you open) while the exam is in process. These are very mean people.

Assuming 1) You can find a way to make the PDF searchable through some conversion software and 2) You can use the PDF in the examjir92 wrote:For those who passed--

1. About 15-30 minutes
2. Scrolling through outline so i know where stuff is.
If those assumptions fail.........sucks to suck.

Re: NY Law Exam
It's a multiple choice open book exam. You have two hours to get 30 questions correct to pass. If you're a halfway decent skimmer, that's plenty of time even if you can't find a searchable PDF. Just use the index or tab it.

Re: NY Law Exam
I know of people who pulled the PDF up on another computer and control-F'd on that while they answered questions on their primary computer.
It's open book so I can't imagine how that would violate any rules, but doesn't hurt to make sure.

Re: NY Law Exam
It's annoying that it's a 126 page document. So no one substantively studied actual rules, etc? just relied on CTRL + F?

Re: NY Law Exam
When you say bring one, you don't mean that you actually have to go somewhere to take the exam, correct? We can just take it from home or where ever?JDEsq2017 wrote:1.) didn't outside of the Qs at the end of each video.

Re: NY Law Exam
I read the outline over the course of about 5 days before the exam. So, around 25 pages a night. This was probably unnecessary, but I didn't want to have to take the thing again.
As to the the outline not being searchable, here are three things I would try:
1. Find the uploaded doc in the other thread that someone else mentioned.
2. Convert the doc into a searchable PDF (this might require some tech-savvy because apparently the doc is secured).
3. Print the outline. Then, go to UPS and scan the doc onto a flash drive as a searchable PDF.
Good luck.

Re: NY Law Exam
If you can get your hands on a PDF searchable outline use that. Or print one out, put it in a binder, get some of those tab dividers, and organize it by section.
Not trying to humblebrag but I didn't even look at the outline until the day before the Feb. exam. I did the practice questions the NYLE puts out - about 22 - and looked at the headings of the different sections of the outline to get an overview.
I was actually at work when I took it. I snuck into a small conference room beforehand and was literally still on a conference call until about 5 minutes into the beginning of the exam. I ctrl-F'd the entire exam and passed.
