What do we need for DF's MBE auto pass?

[sublime]

146/200

scored 61% on evidence, studysmart average is 72%.

scored 79% on Ks, studysmart average 63%.

Anyone with similar results in terms of deviation from your averages?

Yea I had big spreads too:

30 percent difference in Property
18 in Con
16 in Eve

Etc.

Thanks. I'm only reviewing the questions I got wrong then.

I'd probably wait to review since we have like two fucking days of videos reviewing the exam. I was just going to do that. I think it is the 9th and 10th?

But really, how was this a law question?

That's pretty solid Lavitz. Obv gonna auto pass.

Yeah. I input my answers, but not reviewing anything until then.

Did anyone else take the rest of the day off today? I'm so used to working all day, now I feel guilty when I don't D-: but tonight I'm going to the movies. My brain is on strike

NY is 150 scaled or 130-138/190 raw?

Take the rest of day off, you'll be fine

So Torts is my worst subject.

Seems to be mine too, which is weird. I was fine with it in LS.

Same here but with "Negligence: duty and breach"

141, but felt awful with the second part. Around that range is fine though right?

Yea, better than fine. Average is usually around 115.

I hope this is true, because that seems attainable

[MCFC]

I got 7 of the first 10 wrong but bounced back to do just fine.

Wait, so how are we supposed to look at today's test compared to MBE raw/ scaled? So, a 140 today would be more like a scaled score because today was out of 200?

Or am I just overthinking this and should stop worrying/ start loving the bomb?

Sorry. After researching a bit it's more like 134-138

How does the "it's really out of 190 not 200" thing work?

Do they pick actual questions and delete them. Like questions 7, 9, 22, 25, 39, 74, 99, 101, 157, and 171 do not count regardless of whether you personally got them correct or wrong? Because that would be a bummer of you got all those correct and they don't count.

They know which ones are experimental before I believe.

The "experimental" questions are randomly distributed and won't count towards your score.

If I see something similar to the this I think we'll know it's an experimental question.

But really, how was this a law question?

Edit: if the bar examiners are feeling particularly sadistic I think they could add an LSAT style logic game just to throw us off

145. Happy with the score, but I couldn't help but feel like I was bombing the test in the middle of it. Did the rest of you feel the same?

Glad to see the rest of you did well too.

It was definitely a tough test.

[Br3v]

Yeah but what I'm saying is, say an "auto pass" is 138 raw. You'd actually want to aim for 148 questions correct, because 10 of them might be all for nothing if they were experimental and not count.

Maybe I'm statistics-ing wrong

how was everyone's timing?

I was fucking around and still finished way early. Really, I need to slow down.
