PA Bar?

Thoughts? Reactions?

I thought the PT was greek for the first few minutes, but once I figured out what exactly it was asking for it was relatively straightforward. The essays in the morning seemed fair, as did the afternoon essays.

That said, still doing the "I totally failed" thing in my head owing to the fact that the questions were so darn pointed I didn't have very much to write. Some of those essays were like 2-3 sentences. In retrospect I should have made myself comfortable with what is an acceptable answer in terms of length prior to test day.

Good luck everyone. One more day!

I thought the essays were pretty straight forward, although I only noticed one "trick" to a fact pattern, so if there was more than one outside the property question, I didn't pick up on that. I definitely didn't use the last case for the MPT. But, it's hard to write a well organized and well thought out essay going lightning speed in 3 hours with two other questions. I'm happy I put enough down in both sessions to constitute an answer for each question. Hopefully the subjective essay graders are kind.
