Georgia Bar Exam Feb 2016 Forum

[iadvocate]

Good luck to everyone still waiting for GA's Feb. 2016 results. Tomorrow is the day. Finally!!!!!

[waitingongeorgia]

Dying here... Ridiculous to wait this long and then release the results on Memorial Day weekend!!!!

[iadvocate]

I was thinking the same thing.

[BigLawParadise]

Guys, I am going to vomit if these results aren't posted. They make us wait a month longer than most and then make us wait until late in the day? Torture. Torture!!!!

[PeachStateBarTaker]

Are they not going to post them online around lunchtime like normal?

[waitingongeorgia]

This should be the link: https://www.gabaradmissions.org/getpdff ... on?id=1380

July 15 was 1280, Feb 15 was 1180, July 14 was 1080, etc. Stolen from last July's thread.

The official messages say either 4:00 or 4:30. I'm told results for the July bar (I didn't take it) were released around 1:00 this past October.

[BigLawParadise]

I think I have refreshed my "User Home" on the admissions website at least 942 times today.

Wait so they usually come out early? Ugh now I'm stressed...

[BigLawParadise]

Hodor.

Yes, in October they sent an email to those who failed about 12:30 and I think that's when they made the pass list available through the link above that someone else posted. Those that passed did not get an email until about 1:30, but if you were on top of it, you knew you passed because of the posted pass list. The email will have your score in it.

[BigLawParadise]

Ok. Now I don't want to see anything in my email yet. Yeesh.

[PeachStateBarTaker]

Hopefully it's very soon. Good luck everyone!

Getting nervous...

[PeachStateBarTaker]

The pass list is up! https://www.gabaradmissions.org/getpdff ... on?id=1320

[Hodor33]

Pass!!!!! This is the biggest relief after failing last July!

[waitingongeorgia]

Passed! Huge relief after messing up my scantron and failing in July. The past several months have been hell, wasn't even close this time.

[DueProcessDoWheelies]

Wow, can't believe they made y'all wait longer than Texas and California. Dicks.

[LittleE]

Congrats everyone on passing!

Unfortunately, I was short a few points.
MBE screwed me. My essay score was exactly the same as last time. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I didn't go to school in GA. Can anybody give me some pointers on what they (bar graders) are looking for exactly on essays?

[Hodor33]

Sorry to hear that LittleE. I don't have much advice about the essays because I thought I performed terribly on them. I felt fine with the MPT, but the Georgia Evidence/Civ Pro essays were pretty awful. What saved me was my MBE score going up around 20 points.

Did you used Adaptbar? I heard great things about it. I thought Barbri MBE was useless. I used mostly Kaplan red book for MBE this time around.

PASSED!!! This was my 5th time, so it just goes to show that if you didn't pass this time to just keep your head down and keep working and you'll get it!

This time around I used Themis and the Critical Pass flash cards. I really liked the cards because it helped me focus on one piece of the law at a time rather than be overwhelmed by a huge outline (even though I know they are pretty similar, my handmade flashcards never went into enough detail and were time consuming to make). But overall I really didn't really feel that much more prepared (if at all) than last July... I think it is a bit of a crap shoot. '

BTW, if I failed this time I was going to try Adaptibar.

I have the Critical Pass flash cards. I thought they were okay. Good information but LOTS of information on one card. I guess I'll try Adaptbar since my MBE score actually went down this time...

I know I totally messed up on the MPT but I thought my essays were strong. However, my essay scores have been consistent.

It's messed up they don't provide feedbacks on your scores so you don't know what area you need to improve on.

Fuck the GA Bar...I can take the exam again but the long wait is what kills me.
