u/Starman926

For those not in the know, New Jersey ostensibly claims “late November”, but has for at least the last 5 years has always released scores around today.

Across the last 10 administrations, the median release date is 72 days after the exam, which puts us at literally today for J26.

The problem is that they don’t tell us at all. They historically don’t give any warning or notice at all, and the one time they did for J25 it was only a 24-hour heads up.

So EVERYONE in New Jersey is sitting on edge all day long expecting a possible surprise drop today that might not even come. We have literally no idea.

Feeling ripped off lol. It’s THAT recent? I assumed it would’ve been there from the start.

On one hand I get it, because it’s gonna be by far the most practically relevant subject for almost anyone who takes the bar.

On the other hand, I hate it. Because I hate Civ Pro.

At this point doing MBEs and shit is so integral to my routine that I think I’m going to end up missing them in a Stockholm-syndrome sort of way.

Maybe I’ll fail, and I’ll get to start it all again in 6 months!

Getting down to the wire and I feel like I’m still getting hit with questions about things I’ve literally never heard of. Stressful as hell. Especially on Civ Pro.

Maybe it’s just the Themis questions being hell, but man. Freaking me out a bit.

My knee-jerk inclination is always to feel kinda annoyed when there’s some question that only like 13% of people got right. But often I feel those questions are just testing on little exceptions that are rare, but valid.

I think when a the answer percentages just fall in like that 20-30% range for every single one, it’s clear that nobody really got what the question was even asking for.

I wonder if those are the ones that get trashed in subsequent exams.

At least through what UWorld offers. I’ve done probably a third of their MBE bank, and maybe it’s just a weird coincidence so far, but I swear 8 out of every 10 homicide-related questions are directly related to depraved heart murder in some capacity. Why?

Me personally, if I read literally any question about the balance of powers between the three branches of government, my eyes glaze over.

“Can the President override this Congressional action? Can the judiciary override that override?”

I gotta be honest with you man, I’ve got no fuckin clue.

I’m trapped in the city right now. I was thinking of taking the PATH to Newark and then from there getting on a train to Rahway. But I’m having a really hard time parsing anything on the app.

It says trains to Trenton will be operating locally. I don’t know what that means. There’s an announcement specifically for the Raritan Valley Line that says trains are originating in Newark today. But what of the other lines?

Does everyone just try and hold it til a break or something?

I’m on such a strict biological clock. I go at like 11am almost every day. How does anyone else tackle this pressing issue?
