sorrowmonkeySecond day of the CT bar exam is today. Essays were yesterday... Exhausting but only a couple of questions I drew a blank on, and while none of the topics on the exam surprised me, a missing topic shocked me. I won't say now, because I don't want to bring down the wrath of the bar examiners.
Today is the Multi-state Bar Examination (MBE). It's a 200 question multiple choice test spread out over two 3-hour segments. To give everyone an idea of what the questions are like, a typical "solid" raw score is about 62%. Note that in grade school, that would get you an 'F'. I think if you get higher than 75%, they probably investigate you for cheating: it's damn hard.
I didn't sleep very well last night. I had a bunch of decaf coffee last night, and now I'm wondering if they gave me regular. In any case, I'm pretty pleased to be halfway through the CT exam. We are going to go home tonight (change in plans), and then I will drive up to Springfield tomorrow for the MA essay day (10 essays in 6 hours: their questions are funny). Lily is pretty much fed up with the hotel room, and I'm sorry to say it, but Hartford is just BORING.
We went up to the Riverside park last night. It was pretty nice, but Lily didn't take her nap until really late, so we were only there for about 15-20 minutes before the park ranger shooed us out. Still, it was good to get outside.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kuzu_no_ha and Lily went up to the CT Science Museum. She said it was a snoozer, but then we've been to quite a few world-class museums in the past year, too.
Well, breakfast should be here shortly. Good luck today, to bar applicants! Have a great day to everyone else.
