Agreed. I think most of the A papers tend to fall in the 6000-7000 word zone.

Completely untrue from what I've seen at Cornell. Professors want you to get to the point and most of them put word limits. Here anyways...

In a four hour exam!?

I just took my torts final. I think I ended up around 4,000. I seriously don't even know what I would have written with 7,000 words without just doing a UG-style "LOLZ PROF HERES ALL THE SHIT I KNOW ABOUT TORTZ!" brain dump. I probably could have written 7k if I wanted to, it just would've been 6.5k of bullshit.

Brought my conlaw book to the library to study torts. Probably as much use out of that as out of a torts case book by now anyways.

Three and a half hours. Last A exam I looked at that she made available was 6100 words.

lol, civpro death. Time for Office Space and a nap.

Shit I only wrote 1050 words on my 3.5 hour exam. I was really concise though, so good chance it's in the A range.

[BriaTharen]

Screw you, torts. I hate you.

And wrote 4785 in 3 hours. Don't know what that means.

[dailygrind]

who the fuck knows. i wrote 3200 words. maybe i'm really efficient with my wording.

My 3 hour civ pro final exam was on one topic only: opportunity to be heard.

Nothing on Erie, nothing on personal jurisdiction, nothing on anything that should be important.

3 hour exam on opportunity to be heard.

All the hours spent on understanding personal jurisdiction and Erie were wasted.

Fuck. My. Life.

And the stress vomiting has begun

Vomiting repeatedly and uncontrollably before stressful times. I lost six pounds in three days before the lsat

3800 word crim law final. but I think I went past the word limit on all my sections. gunna be a really tight curve cause the material was really easy. . . which is what really scares me.

[dailygrind]

when i walked out of the exam i felt pretty confident. i just opened up the copy of the exam i wrote, and upon reread it's not really that good. shit. although for how much we all wrote in 3 hours, i can't really expect anyone's to be good. so maybe i'm still in the running.

Why in God's name are you looking at it?! I don't understand why you would want to torture yourself like that

I can't stop thinking about all of the issues that I missed, but I still refuse to open that sucker up.
