It is. There's a case on it that some schools teach during 1L.

[hoping it's IIED too, though

Let's not get too specific with the question discussion folks.

Are we allowed to discuss the issues that were on the test but just not the fact patterns? Or neither?

I have to agree with many of the people who have posted and have taken previous bar exams.

Trust me, it will not be as bad as you think. I remember walking out of the Feb 2010 MBE and thinking that I at best I had gotten about 50% correct after practicing in the 70-80% range. There were question in 2010 that dealt with specific SCOTUS opinions.

I used Ameribar home study for both the NC 2010 bar, and for the UBE this time around (even using the outlines from 5 years ago for the MBE topics). All of these review courses are just scams anyways -- they may predict what will be on the exam, but you also have to remember that they only get to use "released" questions. Now we all know what NCBE is holding back. But I will say, at least Ameribar prepares you for Earnest Money!

Some people will pass, some will fail - but do not be delusional about how this was the hardest MBE ever because the likely answer is -- it wasn't. And if it was, then we get a good curve. Just be happy that you don't have to study for the next few months no matter what. No sense in worry over what is over and done with.

Embarrassment =/= emotional distress

Did anyone else find that there were a disproportionate number of questions on Con Law and a couple of other subjects?

There is a sticky that explains their policy. I think it's okay as long as we don't start talking about issues in combination with fact patterns.

Ya I felt like I got 50 property questions...also dissapointed that there was no larceny or burglary or other crimes for that matter...crim law was one of my top subjects

Also just a general question...was it embezzlement? I said no because no real intent to defraud

Isn't the test supposed to be evenly split between all the MBE subjects? Every other question was Civ Pro

I thought the President/Navy question was confusing.

myrtlewinston · Post by **myrtlewinston** » Thu Jul 30, 2015 2:16 pm

I feel like I took a Con Law, Evidence, Civ Pro and Mortgages exam!

dont have to defraud, just have to unlawfully convert something that isn't yours. you have to intend the act, not the motivation.

there most certainly were not 27 crim law/pro questions.

Well damn, I still didn't know if that was unlawful I guess, hopefully an experimental...hopefully all the hard ones were experimental

Is it true the MPT questions are worth more than the other essays? I thought the MBE was a beast. If I pass I am getting my applicant number tattooed

NY it's 10% while each individual essay is 8%, not sure of other jurisdictions.

*DO you mean the MPT or MBE questions? MPT was 10%, MBE questions were 40% total

I felt like the questions were evenly split. I always write down the subjects of the questions on each page before attacking the questions, and it sure seems like there were around 27 Crim Law/Crim Pro questions. There were a couple of Civ Pro/Crim Pro crossover questions though that were stupid hard that could fit into either category.

I thought Torts was pretty easy on this exam. That's the one subject I was comfortable with, even though there were some weird obscure torts questions. Contracts, Evidence, and Con Law were about as expected.

But god damn, some of those Civ Pro, Property, and Crim Law questions were nasty. Especially the cross-over ones. I remember there being a couple of really tricky Remedies questions too.

So does presidential power trump property interest?

lol i have no idea what the correct answer was, even after looking for it a little bit. That seems to make me think it's a shitty question and is hopefully a test question.

Is there some exception to constitutional due process requirements for domestic executive action? Think of the implications if this were so ....
