All we can do at this point is wait.... and try not to kill anyone in the process.. I felt like he essays for the morning were much better than the evening essays.. NOW.. I was completely thrown by those 3 memos.. They have never done that before.

I've looked through just about all of the past essays, so I was shocked when I saw the memo thing as well. But I think it's safe to say that the content matters more than the format. Or at least that's what I'm hoping.
That makes at least two of us! Good luck to all! I hope we all post this weekend with positive news!

LOL I was JUST thinking the same thing! I mentioned to my husband last night that you can have either a great experience on a forum like this, or a horrible one and this has been great! So supportive and kind! We are all in such a limbo-state right now and it helps knowing I am NOT the only one who had to take the exam more than once. When nearly all of your friends passed the first time and you didn't. . . it's intimidating. That and I missed by 7 points. What if I only gained an additional 6? These thoughts start such a spiral...I try not to have them because there is nothing I can do, but it's so tough! I did pretty well in law school, too. I'm just not the best standardized test taker (not a good thing to be weak in, that's for sure). I didn't do as well I should have in July on the essays because I literally didn't know what to put down for 2...I'm hoping that my essays were much better this time to carry the MBE portion...or that I killed it on both! LOL

Thank you ALL for your posts and encouragement! Even you first-time-takers - best of luck.

Sorry - that was long-winded...

I keep refreshing the BBE page hoping that they will post stats soon. If I'm remembering correctly, I think they posted stats before letters were mailed last time.

So you think that even though they are saying they will be posted on the 25th that they will be posted this week? I wouldn't put anything pass them..So I am with you.. keep refreshing!

No, not the results, just the stats. i.e. how many took the exam vs how many passed

I remember reading the stats before getting my letter and thinking, "there's no way I could possibly be in the bottom 20%." Welp, we all know how that turned out lol :|

hahahaha. RIGHT... same for me.. I was like I know I aint in this category.. those slots must be for the ones who didn't show up..well well well! Clearly I was wrong.. I told my friends my letter basically said go back to law school.. in my defense I was deathly sick and took the test lying down.. the lovely proctor kept asking me if I was ok..smh.. got to number 87 and realized I completely missed a bubble at number 12 sooo I pretty much knew that I would be back.. I was so far from 270 though that I said to my mom I think I used a pen on my scantron. Bless her heart she said but you are over 100 so that is good...smh ummmm mom I think you get 100 just for showing up. So the only thing I am certain about is that I did much better just hoping that I did well enough to get to 270.
