Georgia Bar Exam Feb 2016 Forum

[rcharter1978]

Sorry to hear that LittleE. I don't have much advice about the essays because I thought I performed terribly on them. I felt fine with the MPT, but the Georgia Evidence/Civ Pro essays were pretty awful. What saved me was my MBE score going up around 20 points.

Did you used Adaptbar? I heard great things about it. I thought Barbri MBE was useless. I used mostly Kaplan red book for MBE this time around.

This time around I used Themis and the Critical Pass flash cards. I really liked the cards because it helped me focus on one piece of the law at a time rather than be overwhelmed by a huge outline (even though I know they are pretty similar, my handmade flashcards never went into enough detail and were time consuming to make). But overall I really didn't really feel that much more prepared (if at all) than last July... I think it is a bit of a crap shoot. '

BTW, if I failed this time I was going to try Adaptibar.

I have the Critical Pass flash cards. I thought they were okay. Good information but LOTS of information on one card. I guess I'll try Adaptbar since my MBE score actually went down this time...

I know I totally messed up on the MPT but I thought my essays were strong. However, my essay scores have been consistent.

It's messed up they don't provide feedbacks on your scores so you don't know what area you need to improve on.

Fuck the GA Bar...I can take the exam again but the long wait is what kills me.

I didn't think anyone had a longer wait than California -- it seems completely asshole-y to make you wait this long.

Does GA have a three day exam? I always defended California's long wait because of the three day exam.

No, it's 2 days. FL has twice as many people taking the exam and they managed to get the result out in 7-8 weeks. GA is ridiculous!
