Hi,

So we know that the big day is Nov 6!!

Did anyone who took RI pass MA already? If so, what was your scaled MBE in MA and how do you feel about the RI essays?

Did anyone not pass MA, but is hoping on solid RI essays?

Best of luck to you! February bar taker here. Did the rules regarding scoring the MBE change? Do you not need to hit a minimum before they grade essays?

Did you take and pass MA?

I took and passed the July 2014 MA exam. Moved to RI early this year and had the pleasure of sitting for another exam.

Congrats! I missed MA this year by 2 points. I received a 268! Now I'm nervously waiting for RI results.

That's so close. Hope you get a few extra points on RI and will be sworn in a few days.

That is sweet of you! Because RI has the MPT, I'm hoping that helps my score!

I did not pass. Only 58% passed this year.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you don't give up and are successful in February! Where did you find that passing rate? It seems extremely low.

Very sorry to hear you did not pass. I've been there before. Hang in there!

You have? How many times have you taken it? Do you have any advice?

I looked up the number who took the exam and divided the passers by the total. 103÷178!!

I feel so sad and I feel like giving up especially because the second time pass rate is so low! I don't know how else to study.

I know plenty of people who passed on their second sitting. It's not fun studying again, but think of all the effort you put forth getting to this point. Do not let the adverse result of 3 days of test taking outweigh years of hard work. You can do it. Good luck going forward.
