I put the essays from July AND Feb in a box with all of my Barbri and other bar prep stuff. I was trying to send vibes to the universe that it would be mean to make me unpack it all again! :D

I think I felt that way...I can't remember now. I just remember I messed up my bubbling and found out when I was filling in the bubble for 192 with the answer from 193...I had messed up at question 176!!! I only had about 40 minutes left and nearly panicked...I yelled at myself to get a grip (in my head, of course), took a deep breath, and set off to find my mess up. I was able to correct all of the miss-bubblings and still had a few minutes to review questions I was concerned about.

I think what scares me the most is that I really don't remember answering the middle 2/3s of the questions in the afternoon on MBE day. I hope I was just in super bar exam mode and knew what I was doing...

That is GREAT that you were able to pull it together. I know on the pm session I mumbled WTF is this about 50 times....lol.. I seriously was reading the questions and was like ...wait what....re-read...wait what...re-read.. POE and guess..lol

Lolol about you mumbling WTF. I thought that SEVERAL times. Every time they asked about freaking appellate standard of review (I didn't recall from the 5 minutes my civ pro prof spent on it first year) and every time we were asked to write an effing bench memo. Wtf was up with THAT?!?!

I bet you we find out tomorrow. They'll say their mailing results on Wednesday. I hope (no I don't. Yes I do. No I don't) :shock:

I'm assuming you mean "why" do I think that? :D Because last feb, the takers found out around the 25th (and it was the second to last week of feb). Also, Ma results typically come out about 8 weeks from the exam...I think. And the July results were released the second to last week in October. I just have a feeling...

Long time lurker. Finally decided to make an account. Failed July by 6 pts due to sucky essays. Just read the post about release dates and I am flipping a sh*t at work. So nervous.

Now I can finally stop checking..

I barely studied essay stuff, I didnt do many practice ones..my studying slacked off there big time. I felt like I did ok on them for a law school exam but I have no idea what the standard is. If I pulled this off-- I will be thrilled ...but if not, I know what to work on next time.

Good luck everyone may the MA Bar Gods be with you!!! :mrgreen:

It just got real!!!

All we can do at this point is wait.... and try not to kill anyone in the process.. I felt like he essays for the morning were much better than the evening essays.. NOW.. I was completely thrown by those 3 memos.. They have never done that before.

I've looked through just about all of the past essays, so I was shocked when I saw the memo thing as well. But I think it's safe to say that the content matters more than the format. Or at least that's what I'm hoping.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
