Anyone else purchase the questions and analysis/model answers from the NCBE for the July 2016 exam and notice how long they were? I realize these are model answers however some of them are 4 pages anyone else notice this or have a comment? I am a first time bar taker so not sure if this is what they are expecting for an average score or that is a perfect answer for them to grade off of. Feeling a bit intimidated mainly because of the time restraints...

Are you looking at model answers like actual student answers or what the NCBE gave as their model answer if they had a treatise on their desk and all day to write? I have barbri and their "model answers" from NCBE past essays are not indicative of what anyone can write in 30 mins (also factoring in the time it takes to read/analyze). I think if you just spot the issues and briefly discuss it's enough for a "passing answer."
