I took CA in July and did not pass. Got very close to doing so though... I am looking at taking NY, MD or MA or like MA/NY or NJ/NY this time around. I only have a month for full time study, the rest will have to be nights an weekends. I am probably going to take Kaplan because I was rather unimpressed by barbri.

Any recommendations on which bar to take? My MBE score was around a 126 raw (barbri's estimate). I am guessing scaled it was around 140. CA has a weird scaling for the MBE. Civ pro is a strong subject for me so I think this will help me in Feb.

I live in DC and I just need to pass , so I am very interested in MD and MA. Does anyone know how difficult MD or is compared to NY?

Take the MA bar-- probably your easiest bet. I live in DC as well, and ya, you will be able to waive into DC as long as your MBE is 133+. (or unless you are into patent practice in which case you can really game the system)

I have no experience with MD, but I think that if you're just looking for an easy pass, you should take NJ. I just failed CA in July, but I took NY/NJ in July 2012 and passed on the first try (with a pretty low scaled MBE of 135). NJ was only MBE subjects and only tested NJ distinctions on Civ Pro. I did no specific studying for NJ except skimming a civ pro outline the night before the exam. During the exam, I started nodding off at one point, and then on my last essay, I mismanaged my time and didn't even finish it. I still passed. I don't mean to brag -- I just want to demonstrate the night/day difference between CA and NJ.

Are you interested in a a study group in DC for the MBE and/or NY? I live in DC as well.

Good luck
