Virginia Bar Breakdown

Well, becoming a member of the Virginia bar was a nice thought.

The essay portion of the Virginia bar exam this week was one of the most difficult essay exams I have ever seen. I am already aware of an entire essay that I bombed and another essay for which I forgot to answer one of the four subparts. I just skipped it and went on to the next question. There went 2.5 points. As for the other essays, they were hard too. One or two was manageable.

When we got to the MBE the next day, I understood why. The MBE was one of the easiest ones I have seen in all my bar exam taking over the years. One half of it was medium level difficulty with lots of long property questions. The other half was just easy. I don't want to get too confident with that, since the MBE has always been my nemesis.

The way I have things calculated, I would have to get about a 160 scaled on the MBE to pass the Virginia bar exam. That is very unlikely.

Oh well, I gave it a shot. On to my next adventures in life. I hope the rest of you had good experiences with the exam! I'm going back to my temp gig on Monday.
