Somehow our list leaked a few hours before the official posting on the website. I knew hours before for my friends did - and I purposefully avoided talking to the guy I knew failed.

I don't blame you..you just have to give the guy time to cool off, collect himself, and start prepping for the next go-around. It has to be difficult approaching someone that you went to school with, or that you know took the test with you, and didn't pass.

Until you showed up in this thread.

And I'm just waiting for the test takers themselves to get out this evening to give us the low down.

I've talked to one that described it as a "dumpster fire"

So I dunno if they have an afternoon session or what

I think I'll just wait until I get a "congratulations" text from someone..or start panicking if such a text doesn't come my way and check for my alias on the failed list


I was in tax school at UF law when we got our bar results. I got a text from a law school buddy congratulating me while I was in class an hour before they were supposed to be posted, so I didn't have to go through the anxiety. The bar exam in TN is pretty easy, I don't know how anyone fails it unless they just get really nervous for tests.

LLM in tax? Smart man. I should've done that.

Yes. It has been very helpful; the material is a lot more practical and applicable to what you encounter in practice than the material in most classes in law school. Glad I have the degree now, but had I had some better job offers coming out of law school, I never would have gone.

So did the examiners take it easy this year or have they already gone balls deep?

Yeah it's really that hard. I think its too hard and pretty unreasonable. 9 test in 3 days is just too much imo.


Yep. And those 9 tests cover something like 17 or so classes. At least at LSU Law. It's like one giant cumulative final for 17 classes at once. It's unreal.
