No...mine was the PM Session. But not sure if we all have the exact SAME questions for both AM and PM.

I feel like I had mostly C's & D's, very few A's, moderate B's....

I would have thought that they would randomize better than that though...can we really glean anything from people anecdotally having a lot of the same letters?

I recall other things as well but those 2 were like narrow as hell, woulda never gotten em if i didnt do barbris questions.
Oh man, this question almost made me giggle I was so dumbfounded.... :lol:

Lol that's awesome to hear about so many D's. Makes me feel not alone.

But it was weird. The fact patterns were more straightforward than Barbri's, but the answers were way more narrow than I was ready for. At least a couple I had it down to two answers that were nearly identical but were separated by a word like "sufficiently" or something.

I think they jumble the question order, so definitely don't go overly neurotic about things like what column they were in.

I feel some of this is getting close to ban territory. I want to comment on a couple of this stuff, but would rather not get IP banned.

I have never felt this dumb.

Nothing seemed right. Nothing at all.

Funny thing is I've spoken with 3 Adaptibar people who have said they felt like they saw most of those Q's and they did great. How fucked is it if it all turns down to which course you do your MBE's with???

So, we all spend dozens and dozens of hours studying for fuck all for it to turn on which course you did...haha.
Those Adaptibar people are stupid. I did 900 questions on Adaptibar with 74.5% accuracy. In still thought today's exam was crazy hard. Not so much because of the law it tested, but because many off the questions seemed to be logic puzzles more than law questions, and most of them had more than one answer that seemed right

So many were so horribly written. I had to read one a few times to figure out who the hell these people were and who said what to whom.

WTF with the Wills question too? I'm sure that was a test question.

There was one question where they used different job titles to to refer to the same person. That was needlessly complicated.

guys i know we all want to vent from our horrible experience today but please remember to be very general as per the rules...you don't want this thread locked.

Again, I have to say I'm happy i bought adaptibar in addition to barbri. Barbri's approach aside from a few niche areas might have even hurt me i think.

why are we not allowed to talk about the actual questions? I was told from the bar that everyone takes the MBE on the same day, even those with accommodations( like myself).

a prosecutor can only be prevented from exercising preemptory challenges to potential jurors if it violates the equal protection clause. is that right?
