Texas Bar Exam July 2014 Forum

Thanks for the twitter link.

At least some people show proof instead of "oh the link is active for me, and no I can't screenshot".


PS, I'm in the freakout mode with the rest of you. I'll be more surprised if I pass, than if I fail.

I feel the same way, despite knowing the numbers are in my favor.

If I fail, it will be because of the MBE. I could not have done anything differently to prepare for the mortgage/foreclosure onslaught. That's the worst part about this terrible feeling I have.

I feel the same way. I think I did fine on the essays but that MBE is just a blackhole of my hopes. I'll be surprised and very very happy if I pass.

At least if things go south, we will CRUSH that shit in February

I've gotten myself to that mindset, as well. I keep going over every mistake I know I made, and I'm not sure I did enough to overcome them.

Here's to hoping we are wrong.

It's funny, when I left the exam I felt pretty good about my chances. But now, ALL I can remember is the mistakes I made. I'm hoping my intuition was more accurate on July 31 than it is today.

Welcome to my life for the past 3+ months. I've literally reviewed every essay question in my head 100 times

I felt fine about the MPT and P&E

Fortunately I blacked the entire MBE out of my memory, but I remember it being horrible and guessing on so many questions

Also, definitely ran out of time on those last two essays for consumer law and commerical paper. Here's hoping the graders were generous.

From what I've heard about the essays, you can get enough points just by IRACing SOMETHING. Even if you have to make up the rule, you still get points.

I pretty much feel the exact same way as you. Except I know that I messed up subparts on the Wills questions, and I was really thrown for a loop on that Oil & Gas question.

+1 on the MBE being the wildcard.

Earlier in this thread I read/posted with several of you regarding post-exam thoughts. I pretty much wrote what the hive on here seems to have written. I think its going to come down to the MBE (curve) and just how much time I wasted on the MPT by not quite finishing.

Yeah, I would have liked 5 more minutes on the MPT. My conclusion or whatever was pretty short and sweet

Yeah... like the warranties question for me. I made up great law in that area. How great? We'll see soon enough.

I've lurked this forum from page 1, but didn't register until last week. It's been real--wish we could all have a drink together. I feel like Frodo looking ahead at the mountains surrounding Mordor.

I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass.

It has been real, it has been fun. I wish I could say this has been really fun.

I'm either drinking Goose & Juice or some kind of brown-bag type 40oz. Results will decide which one.

I don't remember the essays at all, except for one of the subparts on one of the Wills and Estates questions I looked at and went "Welp, I have no ****ing clue what that is." Hopefully I made up good enough law to get that to work.

Besides that, I never saw the point in revisiting, once you turn it in you are just torturing yourself if you go back and look at the essays.

I'm glad it was you, TLS, at the end of all things

My thoughts exactly. I've never even thought about specific questions since leaving that room.

I just found this thread and feel the same way as all of you.

Felt good about MPT/P&E

Felt bad about morning session of MBE, much better in the afternoon.

Essays went well, ran out of time on #12. Didn't really answer subpart three of that question, which could have been its own standalone essay prompt.

Not mentally prepared for a failure, although I still have a job if I fail.

Best of luck to every one you guys. Hope the passage rates are up around the state.

Because we don't have a link to the results page, should I just be looking at the BLE home page under Important Announcements? I assume a link will just appear there with results.

Oh, and +1 to this.

I'll post this link, but we can't be sure if it follows last years format. Other than that, I'm checking the BLE homepage.

I've decided that I'm fully prepared to lose my mind if I fail, so this might be me later at the BLE offices:
