Texas Bar Exam July 2014 Forum

Yeah, this guy is fucking with us.

Everyone, I'm really serious. If I wanted to troll people, I would have told you the results were up somewhere. Just letting you know that something is really happening behind the scenes.

I don't think I've refreshed a page so rapidly since my "Waiting to buy concert tickets before they get sold out" high school days.

Sigh.

[arkhamhorror]

I did this with PA results last year.

The difference was that I knew that the page existed. This is a dead link to a page that may never exist at that particular URL. I've reached a new low. Drinking for three tonight.

All of the work my boss wants by Friday just isn't going to get done in time

[TxBarTaker09]

All I can tell you is that this is the same way it was done the past two times, I wish I could offer you guys more comfort than that.

[B[iz]ar[re]Exam]

Looks like Thursday it is. 1.5 hrs left in the business day and still a dead site. Look forward to groundhog day-ing this day again tomorrow.

[ebo]

Thursday makes the most sense to me. It's the day they usually announce July results on, and from what we can tell July results have never been annoucned on a Wednesday before.

It's the annoying conflict between which unspoken Texas BLE tradition they are going to ignore:

1) Releasing the grades the day before they are announced; or

2) Updating the link prior to releasing the grades.

Right now it appears that both cannot be true.

I'd be surprised if they didn't release tomorrow. Doesn't even make sense for the link to go live until results are posted.

I would agree with that, that's just not what they've done, haha.

I've been wondering that too. Other states with public postings don't do the trial link. Maybe they figured that out and got away from it.

Also, it's worth noting that the BLE recently overhauled their web site so it no longer looks like it's from 1998 (now it just looks like it's from 2004). So maybe they don't do the phantom link thing anymore.

I'm going to cross my fingers and hope for tomorrow.

[ebo]

Well, shit, who knows?

[akili]

I still think tomorrow and I will til 5 pm tomorrow, haha

BLE and God.

They overhauled it before the Feb bar exams were released, so I'm not sure that's consistent, but it's entirely possible but the live link process was changed, maybe because too many bar takers became aware of it, but we'll see what happens. Maybe we'll just be reloading the page and suddenly, bam, there's the list. I'm not familiar with coding, I don't know the process it would take to post the list quickly.

[ebo]

BLE and God.

I'd be interested to know if schools have received pass rates for their students yet. I'd assume that info will leak sometime soon if they do in fact get the results a day before

[arkhamhorror]

So, with PA at least, there's no archived links like Texas has. So they essentially just overwrite the same page when the results come out and suddenly, out of the nether, it appears.

But yeah, who the hell knows, just grasping at straws here.

I'm fairly certain that they release the pass rates to the schools at the same time as they release the Pass List to the public. (Note: fairly certain as I recall that in the past the Deans get some type of memo from the BLE.)

It would appear that Rog has retreated back to beneath his bridge...

[ebo]

Surely someone knows someone who knows when results are being released.

11/6 per BLE

Sigh. Thanks a lot, Obama.
