But previous years it has been NY Bar, this year is a different story. It's UBE so I'm not sure whether we can count on the previous trend.

This is absolutely miserable. Any and all words on encouragement and/or stories of inspiration are appreciated. I have been trying to calm myself down if the results are not in my favor, but the thought of having to go through this again terrifies me. I don't even remember what I felt like after the MBE anymore, but I know I felt absolutely horrible after the MEE/MPT.

Commiserate.

I know exactly how you feel. I completely froze/ran out of time on the secured transactions question. My answer was 3 words long. No full rule statement was ever put down for that question. At this point, all I can do is hope that I have stellar MBE to overcome this piss poor MEE. Didn't even finish half of the nine factor MPT. I'm sure you did better than this performance on the written essay portion.

I've been hesitant to sell my books, or do anything job related until I get the results to save myself from making a fool out of myself. I'm lucky enough to be employed, but it's not what I expected and I want out, but I feel I cannot move forward without knowing that I passed since I feel so awful about the whole thing.

So you're in good company.

Right there with you. The worst part is I'm just settling in nicely to my new job: enjoying the work, getting good reviews etc. Everything is swell until someone says "so you must be getting your bar result pretty soon, huh?" Then I'm back to the MEE afternoon all over again. Like you, I can't even recall how I felt about the MBE -- I was just so glad to be done. So I've spent the last two months trying to convince myself that it was OK and that it will make up for the essays. It's a thoroughly miserable experience.

It truly is amazing, but the wait is somehow worse than the marathon study sessions this summer. Praying that I'm one-and-done, but I definitely know how you all felt re: not moving forward with anything out of fear. I think what's really scary is how quickly I've forgotten everything. Literally couldn't get a scaled score of 50 if i took the MBE today and it's only been a little over two months.

I totally missed the crimpro elements to the evidence question, forgot that personal service works for IPJ, cited the wrong medical malpractice SC case for market share theory on the torts question, and the secured transactions question I was just telling out of my ass the entire time. Felt horrible afterwards.
Passed and scored 175 on MEE/MPT.

Dude. 1/2 of what you said was completely over my head. So you getting a 175 isn't all that surprising.

Was he referring to a different test? Med Mal? Market share?

There was a market share liability issue in the Torrey question, apparently. I didn't get in because quite frankly I had never once seen that term throughout Barbri soooo, that's that I guess. I remember a med mal scenario but I certainly didn't fit to US SC precedent. If I remember, 9 just analyzed it as a negligence issues.

Uhm, to clarify- I cited the WRONG case that was totally off point, so if you thought that sounded wrong kudos, because it was.
(my point in the original post was that I f'd up a bunch of issues on the essays, was freaking out after the exam, was freaking out the day before results came out, and everything turned out more than fine... and y'all will be fine as well)

Applicant portal will be unavailable due to "maintenance" tomorrow. Possibly (most likely) reading too much into this, but do you guys think it's because they're preparing to upload exam results?? :o

I think perhaps it has more to do with the NYLE being administered tomorrow? Could be wrong though.

Maybe. Although they didn't do that for the last two administrations. Reading tea leaves at this point :?

If this happened next week (a mere before ahead of schedule), I might tend to agree. But two weeks ahead of schedule... not a chance.

That torts question was a real cauldron of dicks. Also, the stupid crim pro/con law one (IIRC). Also, all of it.
