Congratulations on surviving the first day. Down here in Virginia we had an interesting exam, with our predicted subjects making up nearly all of the exam and with civil procedure(s) having a negligible showing: Lots of local government, some personal property, crim law, partnerships, wills, domestic relations, agency and commercial paper. DC was fairly straightforward as well, with predictions nearly on the mark this time (6 out of 7 ain’t bad): crim, contracts, evidence, civ pro, fam law/conflicts and corporations. And on a positive note, the administration/proctoring of the DC exam today went smoother than last time, although there were still some issues, but hopefully this is a sign they are getting their act together slowly but surely. Oh, MPTs were a fairly tough memo and a letter. Good luck on the MBE tomorrow for everyone taking it!

The administration of the DC bar exam went smoothly? I did not get that impression as an exam taker.
Well, it’s all relative. They improved considering the disaster from this past February. But you are right, and after talking to a few more people, I’ve edited my post above as I didn’t know that several students were not given materials with the rest of the room.
I agree – in MY classroom, there were only repeaters; however, we had nice digital clocks that were actually visible ( no 360 degree turns to find out the time), great comfortable chairs, modern amenities, and decent proctors.
Last time, administration was a disaster! A disaster! I am hoping to pass this time, whereby, I shall move on to California – which has the SECOND lowest pass rate in the nation, after DC.
Dwight, tutor me. :)
