July 2015 California Bar Exam Forum

[Tiago Splitter]

Is it weird that the state bar website lets me register for the Feb 2016 bar exam?

Same here... Can someone else check pls? Maybe the system lets everyone register and we are freaking out.

Same exact discussion took place in last year's thread. There is nothing to see here.

Is anybody having trouble logging in to their admission status page (https://sbc.calbar.ca.gov/default.aspx)? I went to double check to make sure my moral character app was approved and it just get a blank white screen. I'm not saying this means anything, but just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue.

I tried too and could see the screen without any problem. Maybe they are updating some info.

So I have been lamenting to everyone about how I didn't finish PT A because I didn't conclude before the Pasadena proctor called time. Well this week I re-read the memo and turns out it says: "Do not include an introduction, a section on the factual background and procedural history, or a conclusion." Oh boy, what a sweet relief!

Is it wrong that when I was taking PT:A I was thinking: "Geez, I hope thousands of takers include all of this so that my answer looks like I actually followed the instructions."

What happens then is that the grader forgets that it said no conclusion.

No, this is their little bitch way to say *gotcha* because I have heard many times, "First thing you do is write your conclusion so it looks like you finished" so for years people have followed that advice. This is a demented way of seeing we did finish without the BS conclusion.

"Hi! This is Randy calling from the California Bar! Just wanted to be the first to tell you that you failed!"

This is getting bad. I get unnaturally stressed every time I go to the DTLA Denny's (opposite State Bar building). Thank goodness there's a Ralph's downtown now, because I don't know what I'd do if I had to go to Smart & Final (ground floor of State Bar building).

Unreal how we have to be constantly reminded of the possibility of failing.

I've lost all sense of beauty through this process. Life is dull to me

Is anyone planning to postpone checking their results until Sunday?

Today I read this entire thread, http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 1&t=251990. Those freaked out the most were not confident or banking on passing the MBE because of their high LSAT scores. Why else was this thread 35 pages long? Most of those participating had decent LSAT scores and were still befuddled by the MBE. The NCBE knows the majority of applicants narrowed their answers between two for a 50/50 chance. You have to laugh, it's not minimum competency to *guess* as a lawyer, let alone have 1.08 seconds to determine if your Gila monster client has constitutional rights that have been violated. The only thing in RL I've seen close to that was when PITA claimed Shamu was subject to involuntary servitude under the Thirteenth Amendment.

First comment I saw in response was a guy blaming affirmative action. Well, at least this has spurred some serious debate of the important issues

Reading it today killed a lot of time. Many of us from CA didn't participate since we still had day three to deal with. I think it's amazing what you did with your spreadsheet especially when you see those arguing that Wednesday and what their scores were in the end.
