Never took the 3 day test (this was my 3rd state bar) so I don't know how hard this was. Think I could have passed with 1 wk of study. Tbf there were some moments of doubt in the following weeks.

180 friendo

TBF, you still had a lot of latent memories from your first time studying. A lot easier to tap the concepts once they're concrete in your skull.

Cr. Also them adding fed civ pro to the MBE helped and California's essays have significant cross-over w MBE and federal practice in general.

Got two essays dealing w 12(b)(6) standard and federal TRO/prelim inj law respectively. Basically free points for a litmo

the bar claims the overall pass rate went up about six points to 49.6% (despite not changing the cut score). but i saw some MFE on TLS claiming this is BS, and that the board is juicing the numbers by dividing total # of passing applicants by total # that COMPLETED the exam, ignoring those that started the test but, e.g., didn't show up for day 2. that person claims that if you do apples-to-apples #passing/#taking the pass rate was the same 43% as before.

ATL started covering it. Supposedly they changed the methodology after February 2017.

Recall that a record number of would-be lawyers signed up to take the California bar exam this summer (more than 10,000), and at last count, even with the applicants who’d been deemed ineligible to take the exam or who’d withdrawn their applications, about 9,837 sat for the exam — and yet only 8,545 completed the exam. After the February 2017 administration of the California bar exam, the State Bar changed the way it calculated the total percentage of those who passed. That percentage now includes only those who finished the exam, whereas in the past, that percentage included the total number of those who sat for the exam. It’s likely that the low overall passage rate that’s being celebrated would have been even lower had the State Bar not eliminated those who were unable to complete the test from the calculation.

UPDATE: If the State Bar had used the total number of people who sat for the exam (8,611) — like it did for the July 2016 exam — instead of the total number of those who completed the exam (8,545) in its final calculation for the July 2017 passage rate, this summer’s true overall passage rate would be 49.19 percent. This is still quite low.
