Are exams at T10 schools more content based or writing based?

A small vocabulary will hurt both.

I would not want to have a 'small vocabulary' in law school or taking a law school exam.
It's part of why classes with LLMs have such easy curves. They're way more credentialed and impressive than we are, but can't write quite as fluidly.

As though the bluebook rules and legal writing standards are conducive to fluid writing....

Roughly what is the percentage of law school exams that ask you to read a super long thingie and then write a super long thingie? (And are they typed or hand written?)

Neither of those apply to exams, though.
