FWIW, my ticket was in my Gmail spam folder. Hopefully that doesn't happen to anyone else, but if you're reading this and think you haven't received it yet, look there.

Anyone know how to interpret seat spot? Like by row or column or how close to the door, etc.?

And they say to be there at 730-8 at Javits. Anyone know if you really need to be there that early?

I heard the line gets really crazy so it's best to get there as early as possible. This is why I got a hotel even though I live in Brooklyn.

Have no idea how to interpret seating.

There's really no way to know where your seat might be until you get there. I would get there closer to 7:30. The closer you get to the exam, the longer the lines are for ticket check at the door and for the bathrooms, and the longer you might have to wait for your proctor to have you sign in at your seat.

Can you leave after you finish (particularly on the MBE day) or are you stuck there?

You can leave, but only if you finish at least 15 minutes early. No one can leave during the last 15 minutes of the testing period, and I think that includes restroom breaks. Otherwise, you're stuck there until they count and re-count the number of books, scantrons, etc. before releasing everyone.

Scantrons. Remember your #2 non-mechanical pencils, and pray you're not seated near the pencil sharpeners in the back of the room.

For those who haven't gotten the email go to the BOLE Seat lookup at https://www.nybarapply.org/tla/


I think you can confirm your seat that way :D

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
