Had a blank essay on CA bar (timing F up). Guessing I failed. Current big law 1st year in DC. Firm gives second chances, but not third chances (lol).

DC would let me transfer the MBE score and then I would just take the essay portion.

I have two options:

Retake CA.
Transfer MBE portion and then sit for written portion of DC.

What would you do?

edit: I originally took CA because that's where I am from, but I have no plans to go back for at least awhile.

You should wait until you know if you failed.

how did u leave an essay blank? that's one of the dumbest things i have ever heard. they literally give you half credit if you simply write SOMETHING, even jibberish

I had to write the second half of the exam in the bluebook because of computer problems.
