those boost from how people were performing on their midterms or finals to their actual MBE scores are giving me life.

According to the seperac Feb 2015 bar calculator a written average of 55 translates into about a 705 common scaled score which is very good...you could probably still barely pass with an mbe of about 125 assuming about half of your NYMC answers are correct...but then again the time it took to complete NYMC wasn't worth the 10% IMO compared to the points you can grab focusing on the essays...
You don't want to use a February Seperac calculator as July numbers are very different. For example, that same 55 for July 2014 translates to a 754 common scaled score. Anyway, for what it's worth, from a 2006 study of the NY Bar (http://www.nybarexam.org/press/ncberep.pdf) that was based on the July 2005 test:

Mean male essay score for first time male takers, domestically educated - 724.12
Mean female essay score for first time male takers, domestically educated - 734.08
Mean male MBE score for first time male takers, domestically educated - 148
Mean female MBE score for first time male takers, domestically educated - 142.6

The report also had similar info for repeat test takers, as well as breakdowns by ethnic classes. I'm not sure if it had data for test takers educated outside the US. While scores have generally gone down since 2006, the data is probably a decent barometer of average scores. If you want, you can use the Seperac calculator to figure out how the mean essay numbers translate to the actual essay score.
Makes sense that men would score better on the MBE since they tend to be more decisive. JK women run the world "Hillary 2016!"

The July 2014 seperac calculator should be more accurate for guesstimating the July 2015 exam.

I've been in home watching my personal Star Wars marathon:

"I'm your father and I have your Bar results... No... that's not true! That's impossible!... Search your feelings, you know it to be true!"...

I'm watching Law & Order and yelling at the courtroom scenes. Just kidding, the SVU drinking game is clutch.

Same. My spirit and will to go on has officially been broken... which I'm sure has been their goal all along.

I'm relatively calm right now, but I am going to be wrecked come tomorrow night. Not looking forward to that.

This has driven me to such insanity that I have resurrected my TLS account for the first time since the first week of 1L.

I'm confused. Why are some people on this thread going to be a wreck tomorrow? Have scores ever released on Sunday at midnight? Seems like they release midnight on Monday or midnight on Wednesday.

They're going to be a wreck all Monday as the hours count down towards 12:00 am on Tuesday.

Is it 100% it will release at 12 AM?

gabewatch · Post by **gabewatch** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 9:10 am

Nothing is 100% because they don't set a release date or time. Separac.com has a chart showing release dates/time for the past 10 years (scroll down).

The last few July exams have been released around 12am, but I don't think there are any guarantees. Feb 2015 release was at 5pm.

Really hoping results come out Monday or Tuesday, but I can see BOLE not wanting to continue its early release dates because it sets an expectation for future years.

Ok thanks for the reply. Yeah Feb results were expected May 2 approx and they sprung it on April 27.

Sunday is such a shitty day because there is no expectations to get our results by today..

Are you guys trying to be super nice IRL just get some good karma? I don't know if little jesus up there is watching me or not but like yesterday at the grocery store I let a guy behind me on the line to go first because he only had 2 or 3 goods compared with my big basket... i need to pass lil' jesus

LOL. I'm not sure that last minute good deeds will work. You probably should have been doing that all along to build up an equity of goodwill. Anyway, I hope it works out for you. This shows how neurotic we've all become.

Well, in the Roman Catholic Mass, the Holy Gospel for today is:

"As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, son of David, have pity on me." And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me." Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take courage; get up, he is calling you." He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see." Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you." Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way."

Also there is the Serenity Prayer: "O God, give us the serenity to accept what cannot be changed, The courage to change what can be changed, and the wisdom to know the one from the other"

In the day of the Lord, I wish to all of you the best of luck and success in your results!

I second that assertion, and think sometime between tues and weds we get the results...

Green Glass Windows · Post by **Green Glass Windows** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 7:02 pm

Fear has turned to anger over this whole thing. I'm going to have trouble sleeping tonight, and I'm so mad about it. I'd take another week's waiting or more if it meant having a set date and time like other states.

BarTaker · Post by **BarTaker** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 7:18 pm

Why NY is not like CA??? Always the last state but always gives you an exact date and time!

I think it's coming soon. Feeling so anxious that my hands and feet are all cold. This is my third try, now all my career depends on this exam, how pathetic is it?
I did finish 80 percent of Barbri this time and hit 70% to 75% in the practice exams. Felt ok in the MBE portion and thought the essay portion was difficult. They tested many non-mainstream and very detailed issues this time. Hope I can pass this time, otherwise I don't know what to do with my life anymore.
I am checking the other post about the MBE socres in other states. Seems 120 raw in Barbri PT would get 140+ scaled in the real thing. I am not sure how meaningful such data is since people posted their score are those just passed, I won't have the mood to publish my score if I failed.
By the way, can you guys tell that my first language is not english? Is it that obvious?
