nothing happened on mine. what about you all?

Nothing on mine either. When I click through the Petition there is no "save" button though. Does that mean something?

[Em_Banc]

Nothing was changed on mine but now the site appears to be down

[RBGFan5258]

site is down for me too.

[Em_Banc]

Site back up for me. All green checks. Wonder if a bunch of us checking the site made it crash for a minute lol

[mootstar]

I just tried and am getting the same notice to save, but no save button. Have no idea if this means anything...I never tried clicking through or resubmitting at any point after the exam

[Em_Banc]

Site down again for me... we should probably go to bed... but I can't yet

[mootstar]

According to posters from July 2015, if the glitch is legit then not being able to save the application indicates you passed. http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 5#p8926895

No change for me either. Maybe they changed the "time" to something like 3 am??

[BWill23]

5:00 AM Update: They're all gone. Everyone is dea....

Sorry... it just FEELs like I'm journaling the apocalypse.

Still green checks. Error message when I try to submit petition. Glitch is either fixed, or I passed. Which, as discussed yesterday, isn't particularly comforting. Less than 12 hours to go!

[MDGirl]

My money is still on glitch is working and was just delayed. I can't get into ebar. It's down again

[RBGFan5258]

we need to know if anyone got red checks...

[MDGirl]

Do you have the save application button? I just got in but it's all the same; no save application button. Maybe this time they just took the save application button off for people who failed?

[RBGFan5258]

i never had the save button i dont think

[MDGirl]

Me neither. Part of the glitch was that the save application button would appear, you'd try to save and/or submit and you'd either get red x or green checks. So if no one gets the save application button, it may have been fixed. Bummer.

Mine is the same too. All green checks and I can only select July 2016 to retake and click through but no submit button.

I don't think that the glitch worked this time, at least I won't until someone says that they have red x's. Last time the system updated for literally everyone, passers included. It said that you have no valid petition to show; if you failed, you could submit a retake petition. If you passed, you would get an error message saying to contact the SBLE. I don't think that happened for anyone this time.

I agree. Guess the wait is on for 4:30.

[Em_Banc]

I wanted so badly for there to be some indication. MAYBE we just all passed.

[MDGirl]

I wish we could make that inference, but I seriously doubt it. I think they finally found someone to fix it. They are being super secretive about the whole thing. Given that they went through great length to even disable the login page on the marylandprofessionalism.org site, I think they really didn't want us to find out before. I don't know why they would care if a few people found out earlier... unless in the past people were calling in all day to find out what the red x means and it was annoying them.

At this point I'm more curious about the formula that they released. It is more consistent with exams that had higher passing rates, whereas the exams with lower passing rates had add ons in the 40's. It is so damn ominous.

[Em_Banc]

It looks like in past years when the +add on number was lower, the multiplier was higher, like 2.4 or even 2.6. I feel like our numbers are just relatively low. But I really don't know how to interpret this stuff.

For example, July 2013: http://mdcourts.gov/ble/pdfs/passingsta ... 307bar.pdf

Yea, the multiplier is bothering me too. It's higher than July, but that doesn't help all that much when the add on is so low.

[Em_Banc]

I like to think that the numbers are relatively lower when people did relatively well on the exam/the exam was "easier"/bar graders were more generous.
