The more time that passes from the bar...

the more I feel like I failed.

I literally said to myself leaving, "there is no way I failed that." Now I am sure I misapplied a rule in one of the 9+ essays/MPTs and have convinced myself I have all but failed.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Uh, flame? You think you failed because you wrote one rule wrong?

Misapplying one rule isn't even a guarantee to score you below average on an essay, let alone fail the entire test. People leave entire essays blank and pass the bar.

Same here. The more I think about it, the more I've come to believe that I failed. :/

The more time passes, the more the doubt grows in my mind....

+1. Although I believe I wrote the same things as others on here (in the TX thread), I am still getting more nervous with each day.

This.

I felt good immediately after, I was happy I'd survived the grueling 3-days (CA) and I was proud of my work product. But now, not so much ... my PT's are a toss up, I had one very difficult section of MBE's, and after reading everyone's discussion here, I'm fuckin' nervous ... no lie.

What about snarky, comedic responses on the exam? Such as wanting to move on Rule 11 sanction grounds based on an obviously bad cause of action? I feel like I may have been too tongue-in-cheeck there.

Not sure if OP is serious, but yes. I also feel like I failed...

...At life.


But I guess you could include the bar in that category.

I made the same argument on the second cpt because there was a citing of a case that was overruled and total frivolousness all around.
