Anyone else get a SHIT TON of "d" answers in one of their collums? Plz.

SO many D's all afternoon! Got a couple B's in a row at one point near the end and got concerned haha

[Monochromatic Oeuvre]

I honestly do not remember if I had a string of any one letter. Not so many As I think though.

I also really liked the sneaky removal question.

Sneaky? It seemed pretty straightforward unless I overlooked something?

Sneaky as in Plaintiff was trying to remove

Did that change the reason for why it wasn't allowed?

Mods: Is this abstract enough?

Would anything else matter? Plaintiff can never remove, no?

I remember this question, spotting that issue, looking for something addressing that issue and finding nothing that addressed that issue.

had like 7 out of 10 Ds at the end of that column and some spillover into the next... lots of Bs at the very end of the other section.

state claim, but FQD counterclaim? Same page or different

I don't say this out of spite, but I have no idea how that test is supposed to measure "minimum competency." There is flat out too much information to learn, and it is entirely hit or miss based on what you studied.

Also, they should stop getting on our case about the "inferior" pool of test takers when they just recently added civ pro. If BarBri is any indication, it is impossible to study for that topic because no one has any idea what they are supposed to learn.

[SLS_AMG]

nearly laughed out loud at a couple questions.

[k101010]

Honestly, just blown away by how off target Barbri was about pretty much every part about this exam except the MPT. They could not have done a worse job emphasizing what's important and what's not. Civ Pro- they were completely off. Con Law- good thing we did so much first amendment right? Evidence- MBE was Harder. Contracts- i'm unsure about. Torts- thought was fair. Crim- Barbri needs to reevaluate this subject completely.

But they won't change, they'll keep producing a subpar product and billing firms and people who don't know any better. Aren't they planning on using these same materials for the February 2017 test?

Really I can't remember a time where I thought a service was so inferior to what was promised. I mean they make law school look like the bargain of a life time.

Sorry for the venting, hope everyone got through it okay and did well! Want nothing more than the people who put the time in to get a passing score.

I couldn't find some of the relevant MEE answers even while actively looking for them. It's a weird comfort to be like "there was zero chance I was ever going to be able to find out that that's the relevant law."

Ugh, I agree with all of the above. How can Barbri charge so much and be so far off on so many things? There is a LOT that they should change in their approach. I should've ditched their substantive lectures and just studied on my own.

Is this dependent on what form test we got? I honestly don't remember a bunch of D's and didn't look to see if I had a disproportionate amount over all. But I did get like 8 C's in a row in the last column on the afternoon session. Anyone else???

[k101010]

nearly laughed out loud at a couple questions.

I totally did! Especially on a few of those answer choices

[LionelHutzJD]

nearly laughed out loud at a couple questions.

Same. A lot of scumbag employers.

Does anyone here NOT remember a string of one letter? Is it's a bad thing that I can't recall? I mean maybe I had a lot of Ds. I wasn't really paying attention.. HELP

[SLS_AMG]

I remember a string of a certain letter in the afternoon. I consciously thought during the exam that people would talk about it on TLS. ha. I also remember it being noticeable, but not like RIDICULOUS. Maybe like 9 of the 20

I almost did that when the first answer choice to a question was, "no."

It's because you had a different form of the test. I'm not sure how many but at least four different forms of the test. The guy sitting in my exact seat three rows behind had same strings of letters. I know this is nitpicky? But doesnt it impact standardization when you were mentally screwing with people with like 3/4s of a column are a D and other people dont have to deal with that. I mean i know i wimped out and changed one just because i couldn't believe it.

[LionelHutzJD]

For those at Javitz,

All that banging was apparently the proctors slamming the doors going in and out. Assholes.

[SLS_AMG]

This afternoon I would say there were fewer than 20 questions I was 100% confident in.

[TLS Moderators]

This topic was locked and all posts after this point were removed because people were discussing actual exam questions. TLS is not going to serve as an outlet for people who discuss actual exam questions. Below is a link to part 2 of MBE July 16' reaction thread, and the plan is to ban people who discuss actual exam questions.
