F17 was my second attempt at this. Scored a 261 in J16. Here's to hoping that we all passed and never have to deal with this wildly unhealthy anxiety again!
I scored a 261 too in July!!!! Only 5 points away from victory! What did you do differently this time?
Instead of using Barbri for a second time, I went with Pieper. Pieper relies heavily on mnemonic devices for memorization, which I believe was more advantageous for me.

I did barbri again, but did a couple of private tutor sessions for essay work. I bought the Emmanuel MBE book, and the Critical Pass flash cards as well.
How did you like emmanuels? I felt the questions were so hard but like the bar. I hope barbri worked or this time

Just curious, when you got your J16 results, were they sent on Wednesday night? I see the release date says Thursday for the J16, so just trying to figure out if everyone else is on to something that we might actually get the emails tonight.
My results from J16 were emailed to me on Thursday, October 27 @ 11:43 PM
Soo, I'm thinking we won't get our results until tomorrow night at the earliest. Why are we torturing ourselves tonight?

Does this mean I'm going to bed now? Nope. Still. Gonna. Wait.
Haha. Literally no-one can know the exact date that we will receive the email containing our results. However, it's pretty much a lock that we will receive the email one night this week. I'll be staying up every night for sure

I liked Emmanuels. It really helped explain a few concepts that Barbri still had me confused on. I'm hoping it's enough. If not I will likely do a private tutor a dozen or so times and maybe try Pieper?

Pieper is pretty solid. I'll sing its praises even more if it gets me that 266 that I so desperately desire

If I don't get the email tonight, I'll be super indifferent for the rest of the week and won't be thinking about this as much as I did today. So that's a plus.

No one from the NYS Bar is in the office right now (or probably ever past 5pm). So why on earth do they choose to release results around/after midnight? Why not just send them out when all the work is done on them? It's unnecessary, archaic, and cruel.
