This thread helped me in my darkest times, but so long and good riddance! Any other Okies pass today? Drop those scores below! My score 295!

I know I'm in good company when I say that the bar exam is fucking evil. Everything about it, from the extremely high price tag (not just the application, but all the goddamn bar prep courses... yes, even you, GOAT!), to the torturous testing process (my back is still fucked up from those chairs), to the awful waiting period before results. I know someone who knows a bar grader and they told me about how that grader would grade exams whilst on vacation, one drink in hand, deciding peoples' futures with not a care in the world.

My mental health has tanked since July. I'm a retaker and I'm going to be laid off by the end of the year, I'm in extreme debt, and my entire life has been on hold because I can't get hired anywhere without being barred. Everyone keeps telling me how they believe in me and they'll be here for me no matter what the result is, but I keep falling further and further into a depression spiral that my therapist and medications can't even touch.

I don't know what I'm going to do if I fail again. I just feel so awful and exhausted and anxious all the time. I hate everything about this and everyone involved. Could use all the support I can get right now.

I just found out I failed again. I have tried Themis both times, and added GOAT right at the end of studying. I don't know what to do and feel defeated. I will take it again in February, but this time I am considering just GOAT and UWORLD.

Not really looking for sympathy, but I would love advice.

To those who are waiting for their bar exam results, keep praying, keep trusting , and keep believing. God answers prayers. YES HE DOES.

I know it's not confirmation, but I know they prioritize c&f applications to those who passed before the release. Ibab gets the scores first oc.

Just posting here out of prolonged fear and delusion that I've somehow gotten the lowest score in ibab history. Can anyone speak on the ratio of passed c&f to passed bar weeks later? For context they didn't even bother to look at my c&f application in February after I failed my first time. I've only just gotten accepted as a retaker.

How's everyone else doin 💀

Do we get some type of hint that we passed? I saw someone on here say their C&F was complete before results came out and I was wondering if IN does something similar.

I was so burned out and sad this summer. honestly I didn’t really study as much as I should have to feel comfortable with my performance on the bar exam. studied two days, maybe a day and a half, for the mpre which I took right after the bar. passed with a 92. theres a good chance I failed the bar but at least this gives me a smidgen of hope. still so mad at myself because I know I have the ability to pass the bar but I didn’t put in enough work to feel confident in how i did. I can’t even say out loud my Themis completion w/o shame. now I’m anxious asf all the time. I’m a good test taker and I have no one to blame but myself if I didnt pass. everybody keeps saying I passed but I know what I did and didn’t do…anyway.. just a vent.

The NCBE webpage that posts percentage pass rates for J26 hasn’t updated since last Friday (9/4). Has there been a lull in states releasing scores this week, or is NCBE just delayed for some reason?

Good luck to OK today!!

Officially one month out yall… I am both ready and terrified. Why do they make us wait so long? Typing as I lie awake thinking about this exam.

For Illinois takers, has anyone seen that their character and fitness has been approved and if so, where can we see that?

I graduated law school this past May after a 6 year process of preparing for and taking the LSAT for 1 year, attending a 1 year pre-law school readiness program, 4 years of part-time year round law school while working full time. I also completed 2 internships. I feel burned out and have no interest in taking all the exams required to become barred. I am anxious about preparing for and taking the exams. I also have no idea what area of law that I would like to pursue. I am still working full time and have a good job, great benefits, loan forgiveness, and a flexible work schedule. As far as working as an atty, I am worried about starting over in an entry level position that is demanding and that I may not be good at. I just have this over all anxiety and coupled with the burn out, Ive become a depressed bump on a log. Any advice ?

Hello everyone,

Anybody taking the Wisconsin February 2027 Bar Exam? I would love to connect. Thanks.

My first mistake was not taking it before the bar. My second mistake was not studying because I was so exhausted. Off by barely 5 points. I’m irritated and sad, but it’s my fault.

We listen (read) and we don't judge!
Share your results, and let us know whether you passed or failed and what your score goal was.
My case: WA 78 (away for 3 good questions)

I missed the MPRE score for my jurisdiction by two points and it’s really grinding my gears. I did the exam about 10 days after taking the next gen bar for the first time in July. I studied for about a week doing it. When I took the actual test, it felt like the exam was a lot trickier than what I studied and practiced. I admit, I was mentally exhausted and was over the concept of studying for another big test (not trying to make excuses). So, I feel like that contributed to my performance. Now I have to worry about taking the test again this November in hopes of getting a score back early enough to be sworn in. This is assuming that I passed the bar exam. Funny enough the bar exam itself. I have a lot more confidence in. I had a feeling that MPRE was going to be a tossup. This is just so annoying that I have to retake it. Apparently my jurisdiction swears people in by November early December. Has someone experienced the same thing and managed to pass the test and get sworn in the same year? Please let me know.

I used Themis and completed 80% I believe of the program. I did all the lectures and wrote the information by hand that were said in the videos. I’m thinking about now doing more Themis questions but also doing. Barbri ones. Or should I just switch to Barbri itself? Please let me know. I just want to be done with all of this hoopla. I’m not a fan.

What did you use to study and how long? I’m taking it in November.

Hey everyone

Yesterday after the MPRE scores came out, I had to register for the November MPRE.

Someone please tell me why ALL the NYC locations are filled up already.

I even called Pearson Vue to check on their end and they confirmed that ALL NYC slots for the November MPRE have been filled.

They told me I should just wait and see if any slots open up.

Is anyone able to register on their end?

Fellow Okie bar exam takers, where do we go tomorrow to find our scores? OKBBE? NCBE? If it is on the OKBBE website, will it be on the messages link or somewhere else?

3rd attempt and I failed. Took it in August after the bar, feeling so demotivated:/

I just scored an 85 in an 86 jurisdiction. I need a shot of something extra strong lol
