One day of the bar exam down, one to go. Today was the essay portion. I would have to say that the level of difficulty was about what I expected. I think I did well on some of the questions and just average on others. There are 60 points possible for the essays, and 35 points is usually average. It's also enough to pass if you get an average score on the MBE. I counted up what I think my points were based on how well I answered the questions, and I think I scored between 37 and 40. Hopefully I can get an average or better-than-average score on the MBE and then this will be DONE!
They also told us today that the bar results will be posted 8-10 weeks after the exam. I overheard a girl saying that the results are always posted on a Saturday morning, and that last February they were early -- in about six weeks. I calculated out that the results will probably be posted around April 10 or 17. We'll see.
Meanwhile, I'm chilling in my room at the Little America after uploading my exam answers to the database. Jeff is bringing me dinner from Crown Burger, and I'm going to review some MBE questions later this evening.
Also, I learned today that the admission ceremony for successful applicants will be held on Friday, May 15 at noon. Let's just say that I hope I'll be there! :)

Oh, that's so great! I'm glad you're almost done with the bar! Probably by the time you read this, it will be completely over(?) What a burden off your shoulders. I can only imagine. I'm sure the results will be great!
Yes, we are getting excited for the match. Just 3 weeks away now. Spokane #1, Cheyenne #2. I'll be happy with either place. They both have pros and cons.
I don't know you, but found your blog when searching for bar exam info. Do you know the absolute lowest score needed to pass the MEE portion of the Utah Bar? (If only took the MEE portion). If 35 is the average for Utah, does that mean that people who got less than that pass? Is it curved? Also, curious why you chose to take both portions when you are already a lawyer. Good luck to you!
