I had major surgery on my face three days before the Louisiana bar. Luckily the pain meds kept me in high spirits

Worst summer of my life. I remember the first day very well:

Code I - aw man, I got this!

Code II - wtf is a trust and why did BarBri tell me these wouldn't be on here

Code III - I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A LEASE IS ANYMORE


Drove home the entire way thinking I bombed the Bar on the first day. Drank about a half a bottle of scotch when I got home.

Good times.

Took it in Tampa Florida for the FL bar. FL test had morning of essays and then afternoon of first day was FL law if i recall.

2nd day was MBE in morning and afternoon


Not having gone to LS in Florida, I thought I bombed the shite out of the first day. I did take the Barbri course and studied like a mofo. So after the first night I went out with my buddy from LA who I was staying with who lived in Tampa.

Got pretty buzzed on several pints of guinness after that first night. Turns out I crushed the first day and was so relaxed the second day that I also scored very high on the MBE.

My brain was fried AF after the second day. I don't even remember what we did that night, most likely mons venus.

I remember Being so stressed out waiting for the first exam that I was In physical pain.

I also Remember taking the BENI exam in about 40 minutes before realizing I was absolutely fricked and just turning it in before I started changing all the answers I thought I knew. I just Drove to my moms house and was like I’m going to fail this.

Still passed by the grace of G-d

Fun story my mom didn’t want me looking at result in my dingy single apartment alone so she made me come over. I went To the bathroom and got a congrats text before I ever Checked the website to see if I passed.

It wasn’t ideal but I had studied so much prior to that I didn’t have any problems. As long as I stayed ahead of the pain I was okay.

The person sitting next to me graduated 1st in our class. Around mid-morning, she was freaking out. She got up, left the room and threw up. She became a law professor almost immediately after her admission to the bar.

I knew a guy, so I got the list about an hour before it was released. Still didn’t trust it until it went up on the website

One year, someone who conditioned and someone who failed happened to share the same fictitious name and the name wasn't something even remotely common. I know you also had a six digit identifying number, but if I'm the person who failed, I'd have to wonder if some of those papers got mixed up.

On the day of the results, it showed that I had failed. In a move very unlike me, I took the opportunity to go and review the results of my failure. It turns out that the software completely failed to send an entire section of my test.

They had to have an IT guy go in my computer, find the file, and send it away for grading. Turns out I actually passed.

Didn't even get an apology from them. Terrible experience. The worst part is that they could tell that this happened to 10 or so people and only six of these people came in to review the test.

It’s my one regret about passing: I have no idea what I got on that exam


All I needed to know was that I passed. I never want to know how close I was...
