Anybody else notice a certain Ms. Wurtzel absent from that list?

passssed - wooot

Anybody get the promised email with the PDF of the MBE score yet?

The bar exam is getting easier every year. According to the firm administrator, no associate at the firm failed. These associates may breathe easier for the day since they have received a reprieve on their eventual termination. Hybrid tough love is coming and this will be a November to remember.

i know someone who got the email w/ mbe score but i know many more who did not (myself included)

I just surprised a former would be associate. I learned of his failure before he did. The look in his eyes and the trembling in his voice were amazing. Thanks Buffalo Business First.

What do you have to do to fail this exam? I must have looked up 50 people I knew and every single one passed.

Partner Emeritus = fake

Kash,

You make it very easy for me to pitch my tent. It goes up very quickly. Now we can make the sexy sexy.

Ms. Wurtzel did not sit for the exam this July. And you should mind your effing bizness because she's actually a really nice person if you knew her.

Your complete inability to comprehend basic irony must mean you are an idiotic FTT grad--which, come to think of it, it probably redundant. I gather you think Affirmative Walrus is a flamethrowing liberal as well?

I'm getting impatient for this email.

Elizabeth Wurtzel is a smart, funny, kind person, deeply devoted to his friends, to his community, and to exploring, understanding, and ultimately improving the world around him.

ok george michael

Anybody have a list of Illinois lawyers admitted today or know where to find one?

Maryland's tomorrow too. A good chunk of your DC readership took that bar...

i want your sex

#16 - Don't rain on the parade of those of us who passed. Maybe you have smart friends. This isn't an IQ test so just chill out and enjoy passing instead of hoping others failed.

What happened to NY being "tough"? I know at least three dumbasses that passed today.

If I failed the NY day but killed the MBE, can I just retake the NY day?

NYC Biglaw firms are currently reviewing the status of their 2009 grads to know who they will be able to lay off in the near future.

Yes, when you retake the MBE.

i want your sex

hey, leave Elizabeth Wurtzel alone. As a matter of fact, I'm pleased to report she passed today. Congrats lizzy!

You'll get 'em in February, MysTTTal.

Pass but no email yet!!!

Well, That was a great 10 minutes while it was up.

And results are gone

Was the Buffalo Business First recap taken down?

where did the link go?????????

BBJ took down the list!

Passed. Thank god.

For those who care, is there a percentile ranking for MBE scores? For those who don't care, why waste your time responding?

I sure hope I pass in Texas tomorrow. I've already gotten my 3500 square foot wife and Lexis in anticipation!

Question -

How come people say that we can't sell our barbri books on craig's list?? Don't we have right of first sale or something?

51- Your Wife is 3500 Sq. Feet?

I would love too get ShaFeefed by Lat.

Wow, cool. Great MBE score, no one cares. I love people who are so insecure in their own abilities, they constantly need reassurance and when they get it in the form of some sort of grade tell everyone they know or anonymous readers about it. People like you made 1st year unbearable. I'm sure since you score 20 points higher than average on your bar MBE, you will be a significantly better atty. Grow up.

So we can't sell our books on craigslist? or ebay? How come I see books on there from time to time....

so you are saying that i signed a contract with barbri that I can't re-sell the books??

what if i do anyway, how would they even find me

TX is up. Thank God I passed!!!!

66 - i have the same question. I saw some on ebay the other day

Texas results are up....

http://www.ble.state.tx.us/Results/pass_0709.htm#l

TEXAS BAR RESULTS ARE OUT!!!!!

AND YES, I PASSED!! THANK JESUS!!

i transfered my mbe from NJ to NY and it was not reported in the email

Yeah Lat is the gay dude

Congrats to Texas Southern, while 71% is still woefully miserable that's well off their typical abortion quality performance.

I'm taking the NY Bar for the first time in February and just signed up for bar prep with Kaplan PMBR. Has anyone taken them and passed? failed? Its like half the price of BarBri and much more convenient since I could do it all online.

Any advice is appreciated!

You are all still worthless.

I still have not gotten my email!! I'm growing more and more paranoid that the website is lying to me!

76 - I haven't gotten it either. I just called the NY Bole like 10 minutes ago and the woman told me they haven't all gone out yet, and I should have it by the end of the day.

The website says I passed and I was on that Buffalo list that has been taken down.

My Dearest Poster 64 (a person presumptively the same as my even dearer poster 20):

I must admit that you have done an absolutely fantastic job of eviscerating poster 57 for his grammatical mistakes. I'm sure that poster 57 will cry himself or herself to sleep tonight, certain that the errors you have wisely highlighted were irrefutable proof of his or her incompetence rather than properly informal elisions of vestigial grammatical necessities. Poster 64-slash-20, you have certainly proven yourself a more competent person than poster 57 [has proven himself or herself to be]. I bow before your impressive knowledge of true grammatical errors and your unparalleled sense of proper voice in an online forum.]

Yours sincerely,

MBE 184

74 - I took Kaplan PMBR and passed the bar.

The program is fine. Very different from BarBri. PMBR's approach is question based. And when taking notes you are not filling in the blank like BarBri.

I don't know which is better. But you can pass with PMBR.

Also PMBR questions resemble the actual MBE questions.

The live class for PMBR was at the Hotel Penn on 34st in Midtown (across the street from MSG).

Three other people in my class this summer, also passed.

I hope this helped.

Everyone, chill the f*** out. If you passed, I'm sure you will get an email. You people are insane.

78

What's with the extra "]"? Congrats - I assume you passed.

20/64

Passed Texas. Not insanely difficult, but harder than Utah, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Wisconsin. AKA, the "drunk monkey bar exams."

pass but no email. hmmm....

Texas is definitely up - passed!

I didn't take PMBR, instead relaxed after graduation before BARBRI. Took BARBRI, basically followed the program (sometimes the essays were too much--it was crazy) summarizing my notes and completing practice questions, and passed NY. Will find out about NJ on Monday (but who really cares?). You can do it, too.

82, did you take all those exams? I thought three was crazy, I bow to your bar taking endurance.

Passed NY!! Suck on my hairy, schwetty BOLEs, NY Bar!!

Are you talking about the new PMBR Kaplan complete bar review? i took it for the NY July 2009 bar and passed. And I did it all from home....with a newborn baby. Those who didn't pass have no excuse.

88 - 74 here,

Yes I am talking about the PMBR Kaplan complete bar review and I plan on doing it all online. Were you happy with it? Is there any reason to think its not as good or even better than BarBri?

Just got the official email, and that's that :-)

i took kaplan PMBR + BarBri. and i passed. yay for firms still paying for that isht.

Affirmitive Walrus,

I am going to spear you and use your hide to make a new dress for my 8th wife.

The Most Interesting Eskimo in the World

88,

Newborn babies sleep 12 hours a day. I'm unimpressed.

frank sinatra did not prefer orville redenbacher.

What is the average scaled score on the MBE, and percentiles? I got 160. Not sure what that means.

Site indicates that I passed.

Still waiting on my official e-mail -- only mildly paranoid at this point.

can we please get an answer to the barbri re-selling books question asked above?

99 - your comment shows that you have no idea. i'm not 83, but in similar situation and "12 hours" of sleep means nothing when it's nonconsecutive and mingled with 12 other hours of crying or holding.

Those really worried about passing NY should just do Pieper. It's extremely comprehensive (maybe too much so) and intense. In fact, it'll own you. But you'll pass.

What does the MBE score mean? Does anyone know the range of passing scores?

Thanks.

74 - I took the complete Kaplan PMBR and passed. I thought the convenience of watching lectures whenever I wanted was very helpful.

Texas came out today today Lat.

98,

Working 9 hour days and studying for the bar exam is impressive. Having to take a break every 3 hours to feed your newborn and hold it, unimpressive. 88's comment that "those who didnt pass have no excuse" prompts my being unimpressed with her having to hold a newborn baby a few hours a day -- something that a family member can surely help with.

Had 88 not been such a douche, I'd be more impressed with her having a newborn and passing the bar exam. Her doucheyness negates any "wow" factor her situation may have otherwise awarded her.

Do gay men enjoy shitting in each others mouths?

PASSED!!!

20 -

Thanks for the repost and for proving my point exactly. Also, not bitter and passed handily.

-57

Still waiting for the email from BOLE. Passed according to the website look-up. Took BarBri and nothing else, and pretty much stuck to their study plan.

Dearest poster 64/20,

I wholeheartedly agree with poster 78 on his or her remarks. Furthermore, I look forward to celebrating the loss of your virginity sometime in the distant future.

26 = obviously has no friends

I passed the TX bar! woot!

@97 - presume that the books/recordings/video is covered by a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use. If that is the case, then you are in breach of the license terms if you re-sell without bar/bri consent.

I believe, however, that they may buy the books back...

I am a TEXAS SUPER LAWYER! I Passed! To the Bar!

His Royal 20/64/81:

The extra bracket is the result of a clear and obvious error. One can extrapolate from my otherwise fairly competent grammatical usage that the error was inadvertent, not the result of ignorance. Your use of a hyphen instead of the grammatically appropriate em dash (—) is the result of a less obvious error that I presume stems from lack of knowledge.

I accept your congratulations and extend slightly more sincere congratulations back at you.

Pish Posh,

78

barbri offers to buy the books back, but you could get much much more for them if you sold them on your own

Just got my email. Finally, it's official.

I looked on Craigslist for books a while back--everyone sells them for $250. But the BARBRI book deposit is $250. So it doesn't matter if you sell it back to BARBRI or elsewhere, because if you try for more than $250 potential buyers will just get from someone else. And you might have to ship something or meet up awkwardly with a bar hopeful--no thanks.

Passed NY according to the Private Look Up, but still no email. The BOLE closes at 5pm....should we expect an email by then??? What's the deal???

Passed NY according to the Private Look Up, but still no email. The BOLE closes an hour away at 5pm....should we expect an email by then??? What's the deal???

Elie - did you pass the bar?

I need my email NOW!!!!!!!! Please, someone at BOLE send it to me!!!!!

119,

Don't ask, don't tell.

PASSED ya'll! Texas Bar Secure. ;-)

Does anyone know (or know where to find) the avg. MBE score for NY? Also, approx how many points is the scale? Thanks.

Who gives a shit. The Texas bar passage rate is like 90%. Even for people who went to TTT schools. You shouldn't get to celebrate passing the bar.

There you are, Walrus! I'm coming to get you. Winters coming and I need to stock up.

The Most Interesting Eskimo in the World

Still no email here either. I couldn't check my email for a few hours and fully expected it to be in my inbox when I checked later.

92,

Damn you, The Most Interesting Eskimo in the World.

That kind of hate speech will not be tolerated.

Resorting to the normal judicial channels is not sufficient to prevent you from intimidating the whole protected class of walruses from your filth.

Therefore, I demand a special hate-crime bill be carved out in favor of walruses. Eskimos will never again feast upon the blubber of the oppressed AW/MW.

Social justice, sucka.

Passed TX. Hell yes.

finally got my email. yeehaw.

No email here either. And even though it says BOLE's office hours are until 5 pm on the site, if you call their number, the recording says their hours are 8:30am-4:30pm.

I spoke to someone and she just said the emails are still going out, and that I could rely on the website.

The results look up page said I passed and the Buffalo list said I passed, but I just got the email and I failed the NY Bar!! Either the email is a fake or our links were hoaxes. The email was from barresults@nybarapply.org and it had a pdf with my MBE score. I'm freaking out!!! Ideas?

I just got my email, but it did not contain my score. What the hell?

FINALLY got the email.

I got my MBE score, but aren't we supposed to get a break down of the other scores too?

131,

get a life.

Walrus,

I am going to slit your belly open and let my kids play inside of you like a Ton-Ton.

TMIEITW

Still waiting on the damn e-mail. This is ridiculous.

Do they grade the bar exams taken by black people differently than they do that of whites?

Blond UVA2L

The Texas bar is by far the most intellectually rigorous test of basic legal proto-competence. NY and CA are a joke by comparison. A JOKE.

- TX 798.5 MBE (and total non-tool)

Where is this damn email? I still don't have it.

124, If you do not count non-ABA school students in NY, the bar passage rates for NY and TX have been historically very similar (around 85% for first time takers).

Still waiting and not so happy.

just got my email

131,

You can possibly get an idea of which is correct by your MBE score on your email. What was it?

I was in "a bar" within an hour of passing "the Bar." It was fun. You all should log off and go try it out.

Please, I want my email!!!!!! I am starting to freak out!

135,

The word is "tauntaun." show some respect.

I still don't get my email!!! any idea what happened?

Just got my email (and I passed).

still no email

Good thing 5 pm is coming. I will certainly have my results in no more than 17 minutes.

I forign eduacte LLM from Tuvalu. I pass BAR. I have email. BAR easy.

A lot of bourbon shots flowin' in the Lone Star State tonight! Hell yes!

Congrats to my compatriots! Way to grab that bull by the horns! Throw your six pack of cans in the truck and head into town!

WTF?!?!?!?! OPENED MY EMAIL AND GOT A VIRUS!!

New York list of passing candidates that the Buffalo News took down: http://b3.caspio.com/dp.asp?AppKey=a95b1000a6943b528eb94e579f63

I'm warning you, TMIEITW. I'm a protected group, alright? Stay away from me! I'm special.

137,

But of course. In keeping with our commitment for establishing affirmative policies to promote opportunities for historically disadvantaged peoples, the board of law examiners has a "plus" system for black test takers.

It's called "+ enough to pass to assume your rightful place in BigLaw where you will be put on a firm brochure because black is beautiful."

20. That sucks. You spent way too much time studying. I enjoyed my summer and passed.

seriously wtf - where's my email?

whoever posted regarding getting a confirmation about the NY passage on the bar results and an email that failed --- are you seriously kidding?

any other people who haven't gotten e-mail?

yes still no email here either. is there any consensus on when this is expected to come in? i mean, we are supposed to get this today, right?

I haven't. (Website says I passed).

I haven't either

I called and spoke with NY BOLE myself:

Email doesn't matter. If you checked the site and it says you passed. You passed, 100%. No errors to be had. That's it

--word for word

So chill

and the poster who said otherwise is trying to scare you, dude get a life.

did they say that all the e-mails will go out today?

They're coming. Mine took all damn day, but it matched everything from the website/pass list. I'm sure poster 130 is just messing with you. It takes a lot of time to carefully email 8,000+ people with personalized attachments. Hang in there, folks.

I'm sure it's fine (the website says I passed), but I can't help but feel a bit of uncertainty until the e-mail shows up.

166 x2

No e-mail yet. I changed addresses/divisions. Surely that wouldn't affect the e-mail they had on file for me?

If you didn't get an email by now indicating that you passed then you failed. NO BS.

Error: I'm sorry, your computer is now broken. You have exceeded the maximum times you can hit the refresh button in a single day.

I just got the email like 2 minutes ago (I passed).

Does someone know if the email depends on your BOLE #?

I passed and still have not received the email. Last name begins with a B.

does no one realize that if the website says you passed, then you fucking PASSED. calm down.
anyone who says different is just trying to scare you and obviously it's working.

remember-- you were supposed to get an email whether you passed or failed, so if you didnt get one yet, then it means nothing. what the site says is the truth.

also make sure of what email addy they have for you. if it was your school one and you didnt update it but you no longer have a school email, then you wont get an email

Me too, last name begins with an A.

I also have a last name beginning with B. I passed and have yet to get my email. I'm starting to get annoyed.

I know I passed, despite not getting an email; but I'm wondering if there is any information in the email about going forward from here.

anyone else *still* not get an email?

I'm sorry to anyone who hasn't received the email. I didn't get mine until 4 eastern. don't worry. No one has suddenly received contrary results in the email. If they say they have, they are lying.

Still no e-mail here.

I still haven't received an e-mail. It may not be until late this evening or tomorrow. I contacted NY board of bar examiners they said to rely on the NY private look-up and they are still processing over 8,000 e-mails.

I am not sure how things roll out east.

In California, though, the physical letter that you receive in the U.S. mail from the State Bar of California is controlling over any electronic mail or website posting published beforehand.

If this is in the case in New York as well, technically none of you are safe.

Still no email

I got 140 on NY MBE and passed. I am a foreign student and have never quite followed the scoring system. Anyway I figure I must have been close to failing with a 140. Has anyone get lower and still passed ?

I got 140 on NY MBE and passed. I am a foreign student and have never quite followed the scoring system. Anyway I figure I must have been close to failing with a 140. Has anyone get lower and still passed ?

154: looks legit

182 you are a fool.

Obviously the more tangible something is, it's controlling.... but these aren't form battles. It's the same info over different channels. If one says you passed, you passed. There arent errors in this kind of thing (barring some very rare exceptions).

187 - I Tuvalu LL.M. I make 70 MBE. I pass NY BAR. BAR two easy. Now taken UK Bar.

how about a 118.9 on the MBE!!! woohoooo and I still PASSED!!!!!!

118.9 mbe and i still passed NY

Seriously people, READ the actual statement from the bar examiners. The email you receive IS the official certification (it even has a fancy watermark that says as much) and if you bothered READING you will notice results will NOT be mailed out.

Anyone still waiting on emails? I haven't gotten mine yet, wondering if I'll be expecting it tomorrow now.

To 184/185

See pg 21

http://www.ncbex.org/uploads/user_docrepos/CompGuide_2009_01.pdf

did anyone get their passing email attachment with a blank for MBE score?

sorry, pg 22

STILLLLLLLLLLLL waiting. Has anyone received an email in the last few hours?

I can picture 131 sitting at his computer, with his pimply ugly face, giggling like a little girl, wondering how he can make people panic. I'm sorry that no girl will touch your penis. Maybe if you got some differin and hit the gym things would look up for you.

No email still...

Cosign 196. STILL no email! Am I literally the last person to receive an email?

Do I have any chance in getting this tonight?

No email either. I know I passed, but I want to get the email and get this whole ordeal over with.

187, I was just trying to make people who hadn't received their email yet feel better. 191 said that the State Bar of NY does not physically mail anything to you. I am a failure.

-182

i dont have an email either

Was on Buffalo Biz and have a congrats msg on BOLE, but still....

To all those screaming "calm down," walk a mile in our constantly-refreshing-shoes, then you can tell us to calm down.

199, even if we don't have any chance of receiving it tonight, I'm going to keep checking my email every minute until it finally shows up.

I just got the email. All it contains is my scaled MBE score. Do we get to see our overall score? Scores on the essays, etc.?

still no email.

Hey 188 - They speak English in Tuvalu. It's part of the British Commonwealth.

206 - Hapyness!! I am for Tuvalu! Are you Bahá'í? I known Tuvalu is British Empire, because I will taken UK Bar.

Glory, glory, hallelujah

206 - Hapyness!! I am for Tuvalu! Are you Bahá'í? I known Tuvalu is British Empire, because I will taken UK Bar.

I feel like I won a prize. I got a 134.6 on the MBE and PASSED!

Pff website said passed, but still no letter. is anyone still in that case? Do you think they are still working at the board?

no letter yet here also

STILL NO EMAIL!!! IS IT POSSIBLE THEY ARE SENDING EMAILS ACCORDING TO MBE SCORE (HIGHEST TO LOWEST)?

no email yet either

213 - No. HTFH

No email here yet either.....

i have also yet to receive an email.

still no email.

Guys who are waiting for your email, relax. Their servers apparently got jammed. I got mine a few minutes ago and it was apparently sent at 1:53 PM. So hang in there! If the bar website said you passed, you passed. Go drink and the email will be there when you get back.

Interesting, I wonder if the buffalo newspaper got their ass reamed out for posting the list.

still still still waiting

I am also still waiting....

Got my email at 442pm it was allegedly sent at 158pm

still no email

Hey, I'm from Barcelona and I guess I am one of the few who unfortunately were out of luck in this exam.. (or didn't study enough..) I got 140 on the MBE but with a final score of 664.34... (the file only states 664 but if you do the maths with the other results they provide you get up to 664.34!)
Are you kidding me? There is no 0.66 of a point anywhere in a 8 hour LAW exam?!?!!
And that's not all. According to the rules and the average system they follow, it is almost certain that I would have past had the second examiners been the first to grade my exam!
Therefore, I can only congratulate those first examiners who kindly made my next months pretty miserable..
Does anyone have ever heard about the possibility to have, at least, the exam points recalculated..? 'cause this is surrealistic... I know they kindly inform in capital letters that I'm f***ed w/o possibility of review or appeal, but this should not include recalculation, right?

Anyway, congratulations to all of you who passed!!

225,

You can appeal. Read the ny bar exam web page

226,

That is absolutely not true.

I've never posted before here.

But just wanted to let contribute that I still have not gotten my email.

But my job told me I passed (they found out early, don't know how).

And I was on the Buffalo list.

And the private look up said I passed.

But still no email.

Last name ends in B.

Who knows . . . . but I know I passed bitches!!!! Right?!?!?!?!

damn it, i still do not receive the email

though private lookup told me that i passed

anyone have the buffalo list?

this is still 228 . . . maybe because i didn't presign up for the email as had been posted on the bar exam website for the past week i didn't get the email?

That doesn't make sense though because my email address has not changed since I signed up for the bar exam.

Arrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh . . . .

Well, I have posted a couple times but
i just wanted to let you know that I still haven't received an email...

Go to bed. You'll get it tomorrow and will see your name in the list published tomorrow.

Did you check your junkmail, by the way?

dont freak! i talked to BOLE before end of business day. They said that emails are still going out and will continue to be sent. The system sucks. DO NOT WORRY!

Wow, look at the difference in the pass rates between July and February takers.

http://www.ncbex.org/bar-admissions/stats/

Life revolves around scores and rankings....

... as 57 flips another Wendy's hamburger.

135 on the MBE, top5 law school, top10 law firm.... failed. killing myself as we speak.

still no email... and the website said i passed. and then i tried calling the BOLE and they said all lines are busy. i'm guessing people are having this problem. anyone else still waiting?

sorry, i know i sound neurotic.

236 - sorry man, that just sucks

I am waiting as well even though I see that I have passed. I just called them and i gave them my BOLE number and they said that they would send the email.

Never got my e-mail. Just talked to BOLE - the big problem they've been having are people with AOL accounts (like myself) weren't able to receive the e-mail. I always knew I should get out of 1994 and get another account, but I've just had the addy for 15 years - never thought it would screw me over.

Still no email, but I see my name on the public list. Wondering how hard it could be to send an email.

I am 239; I just received my email.

I passed the TX bar...so did everyone I know except for one UT grad. Sucker.

236 - I'm sorry dude. But I don't understand how you failed with that MBE score.... Did you feel like you tanked the essays?

who the fuck still has an AOL account in this day and age?

I also had an AOL account and never got an email. Call up BOLE--they are aware of the issue and emailed it to me over the phone. I got the email a minute after I called up.

@ 244, getting a score of 135 means you have to do stellar on the essays.

Gosh, still not an e-mail. They should have used postal pigeons instead.

I passed one state with a higher mbe score and failed the NY bar. Passed NY this time with a low MBE score. I guess NY is state day heavy.

anybody else not get their MBE score in their passing email because they took the MBE elsewhere?

If you have not received an email yet, you need to call the NY bar office. They will wait on the phone with you as they re-send the email.

251: confirmed. I just called and they resent my email. If you did not receive it yet, it is because of a glitch in their system.

what MBE score do you generally need to pass, assuming you do equally well on NY day and MBE day?

I got a 151 (thought I failed the MBE after I took it but didn't find NY day that bad) and am wondering how much leeway that left for NY day

@247: Wrong. A 135 on the MBE is high enough to pass so long as you get 5s on the essays, which effectively means anything over 4.5 on the essays, since they round up the scores. It's not really that hard to do that.

249 - NY state day (which includes the MPT) is worth 60% of the score, so yeah it is "state day heavy".

I think NY is a state heavy day (worth 60%). I scored a 137 on the MBE, which is not great but I must have either done stellar on the essays or passed by the skin of my teeth. Either way, I passed!

does anyone know what firms are doing with incoming associates who failed? it's probably too early to tell, but I'm worried about a friend who I didn't see on the public list

262 - great question. I would assume that so few people failed that it is a non-issue for the firms. They will probably give them a second chance to avoid the bad publicity. But who knows...

127 on the mbe was good enough to pass, assuming you killed the essays.

anyone know when the ny bar journal publishes the list of names?

264 - the public list of names is available on the BOLE website: http://www.nybarexam.org/ExamResults709/July2009Results.htm

Do people actually fail the bar? lol

i think im the only person who failed. i dont get it.

thankfully the NY Bar Exam was my friend

and NY Bar I went to last night was not haha

congrats to those who passed. to those who didn't, keep your chins up and kick ass in feb.

251 & 252, Confirmed.

If you have not yet received an e-mail, call the BOLE. They will confirm your e-mail, and if it is correct, they will resend your e-mail. If it is not correct, they will ask you to send them a fax with your updated e-mail and BOLE ID. They will then send a duplicate e-mail.

Where can I get my NY portion/total score, only found MBE on the pdf.

265- I'm interested in keeping stealing all the copies of the Journal in my office so I can use the results page as Christmas present wrapping paper. I'll keep one for myself.

264,

Please, in no way take my post to be antagonistic, but how do you know one can pass with a 127 MBE score? Did you yourself pass with that score?

I ask because The NCBE says the minimum passing score in NY is 133. See pg 22:

is a 167 a good score?

274,

No.

275,

That was a joke.

Signed, someone who scored higher than you

276,

I was obviously joking myself, dumbass.

275, who actually scored higher than you.

273: 264 here. 127 was my score. And the asterixed footnote on page 23 explains how I could have passed. I know others with scores below the 133 who passed. I know I nailed all the essays and the MPT, which explains this.

Yeah baby ... P.A.S.S.E.D. that sucker for the green & gold. Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie! Oi! Oi! Oi! (which, btw, I acknowledge is the lamest shout out going, but it's not everyday you get to pass the New York bar)

You can definitely pass with below a 130. You need a 133 if you do average (5s) on the essay. If you do well above 5s on the essays, you dont need as much on the MBE side, its a composite score.

Simple math. I did well on the MBE side (146) and not as well on the essays, but passed because they balanced each other out.

You fail if one side is well below "average"

280,

How do you know how you fared on the essays?
