Not necessarily. First, there is a uniform grading rubric provided by NCBE. This may help limit inherent discrepancies with the NY exam and the need to collaborate to hash them out. Second, because there are more essays (6) and more MPTs (2), it may actually streamline the grading process. Think of it like a production line. They have eight groups each assigned to one essay. Because there are more essays but the same amount of time, each essay is shorter. Although it's only 6 minutes fewer for each essay, that's probably a page of writing. Spread out over 60,000 essays (10,000 takers x 6 essays), that's significantly less to review.

The UBE is not new. Prior to NY, some 19 or 20 states had implemented its grading. Being late to adopt likely helps because the kinks have been taken care of already.

Today I woke up early and went for a stroll in the park. Hints of the rising sun reflected off the cold glass of the city, the shimmering light overwhelming my eyes as I take one last tug from my cigarette. I meander back towards the subway, my bag flopping awkwardly against my leg. As I descend, hearing the whoosh of trains scrambling to get me to my destination, I panic. "Today's the day!" they said. "Today's the day!" What if, in the 12 minutes I lose cell reception between here in the office, the fateful email comes? What if I'm not prepared for it?


I tear myself away just before swiping my card at the turnstile and bound back up the stairs. Sweet, refreshing signal returns to my phone. I open my email. Nothing. I check TLS. Nothing. This can't be. "Today's the day!"

She laces up her running shoes. Stretched, caffeinated and ready, she takes off down the three flights of stairs separating her apartment from the loud streets of Istanbul. She never was much of a runner, but the past few years have created unbelievable amounts of anxiety for her. Law school, Ben leaving her, the attacks, running is her therapy.

She rounds the corner by the river, the sun setting over the fast expanse of land she constantly has to remind herself is Asia. She barely hears the phone chirp over the blood rushing in her ears. It's a text from Scott, the young architect visiting his family for the week. He's going back to NYC tomorrow and would like one last rendezvous. She stops, remembering how good it felt to be with him. Her hands hovered over the virtual keyboard of her iPhone, their voices ringing in her ears. "Today's the day!"

I got a nice guy who asked for my # and I would likel get a return call after lunch. Then again my CID likely carries more weight, no can't say where I called from, but I had authority to call.

Circumventing the system could be considered dishonesty. The next argument could be that who is to say you won't hack a court's database to find a decision or progress of one using a known method such as this.


Edit autocorrect changed hack to have. Fixed now

Sorry but accessing a public (or semi-public) website cannot be considered dishonest. No one received information, no one hacked any databases, no other cyber attacks occurred.

There was no manipulation. It's completely possible the link was bookmarked. It's possible it was access via caching issues. It's an existing link. No one attempted to access root folders or databases. It's unlikely anyone here is even capable of that.

This is a stupid argument and distracts from our enjoyment of blatant rumor mongering. In the word of my esteemed colleague above, stop.

Yes, thank you. Somehow, this rumor-mongering is the only thing keeping me sane until results are out. Thanks you guys <3

If not today then I think the earliest would be Oct 26 or 27. If I'm not mistaken it usually happens on a Wed or Thurs?
