Overdue Honesty Check

Since passing two (2!) state bar exams this summer, I have basically forced myself to forget about Studying for the Bar Exam.   But, over breakfast with an old friend, he complimented me on how "coolly" I handled the situation and I erupted into pained laughter.

The snapshot below is my score for a practice MBE that Barbri gives to all students nationwide halfway through the summer.  After all its students nationwide take the test, Barbri scores and ranks everyone.  Takeaway: Halfway through the summer, after a month and a week of studying, I scored in the bottom 5% of students taking the practice MBE nationwide.  If the bar exam had been given on July 1st, I would've failed.  Hands down.




So yeah.  I was NOT "cool" when I was studying for the bar exam.  I was a hot mess.  It is absolutely astounding that I passed anything.  Let alone two in a row.  Victory!
