California Bar Exam (July 2014) thread Forum

I flunked. I scored 1420, twenty points lower than the required 1440.

My essay scores were horrible but I scored 1710 on the MBE.

What would you do, what course would you take, what tutor would your recommend?

Thank you for any suggestions.

For those who have received a score report what is the "code" above applicant / file number? I had some issues submitting on time and wondering if other people have that (if I lost points because of it)

Are all 6 essays graded by one grader, or do they have various people grading each essay?

Each essay has its own team of graders.

Me working immigration, I was wondering whether I should transfer my MBE scores. At 1545, I could probably take the Essay portion elsewhere and do it I feel. This can wait.

Please forgive my obnoxious question: for those who passed, will you receive your score breakdown?

No you don't.

Hey does anyone know if you have to get your bar oath card signed and notarized, or can I just ask the judge I'm working for to sign it and send it in without a notary's signature. If this q is answered in the packet I apologize, haven't gotten mine yet.

[jarofsoup]

I am very unsettled by my results. Some essay grades had ten point differences on regrade. I was close enough to passing that the advice just seems to be "better luck next time"the

Hey guys,

Do you know if there's a limit on how many people we can bring to the swearing in?

All I know is, I just show up there with my card in hand.

I want to bring like 4people with me.

A judge is on the list of people allowed to administer the oath. I would definitely include some sort of supporting documentation though and not just a random signature.

If you havent passed character and fitness yet, but passed the bar do they still send you something?

i'm wondering this as well.

At least one school (UC Davis) released their bar passage numbers based on their own data. Have any others?

What was it? Hastings hasn't done so yet, at least not to grads.

Wow. I haven't heard from SCU about our pass rate

[ilovesf]

That's p good. I am sure Hastings will be in around the 70s again. They haven't released the numbers but I can think of like 4-5 people that I know who failed

[Furball]

I'd also really like to know if you haven't passed character and fitness yet, but passed the bar do they still send you something??

[bananaslug69]

La Verne was at 66% if anyone cares. We had a 87.5% pass rate in Feb with 14 of 16 first-timers passing. Wish they would have waited a semester to graduate to pad our stats.

Anyways, I was on TLS all the time after discovering it day 1 of the bar exam to check what people wrote about. Thanks for the entertainment all.

I have no idea - but I would imagine that you don't. Most of the information is about swearing in, and you're not eligible for that yet. Just out of curiosity, for those that still haven't passed, when did you submit your C&F stuff?

I haven't passed yet and I got mine cleared after 9 months. I submitted in Feb and got it cleared in November.

The State Bar eventually posts a comprehensive set of statistics, so everyone will know :p

[Carryon]

Does anybody know if model answers are posted by the daily journal new Lawyer magazine or on some other publication? I failed it and would like to know what I missed. Here are my scores: 55 75 55 65 (passing after first day, then downhill from there) 55 50 55 55 (maybe I should not have gone Glamping after the first day )

I scored
Tues 55, 57.5, 55, 57.5
Thurs 60, 55, 60, 50

Hard to swallow these scores. if i can get any improvement at all, I should pass in FEB. I don't really know where to find any CivPro MBEs. I would like to keep my 95th percentile score again in FEB....

I signed up for Flemings and i will write one essay per day and have it graded and critiqued. That would be about 100 essays by Feb's bar. I just need help on the PTs. (well, i need help on all essays). I need a tutor. If I could have scored a 60 on the second PT, that would have been enough to pass. The thing is that I thought I knew what i was doing on the PTs. obviously not. Really glad I studied the MBEs so much. I think those things can take a long time to master and that would be really tough to do between now and Feb for someone with a low MBE score. If anyone wants any suggestions on how to beat the MBE, I would be happy to help, just like i would love to get help from someone on Essays. I would pay someone for help too.

Thanks for any suggestions.
