I felt like I failed and got a 311
Post Body

MPTs- they felt easy.

MEE- I felt like I got blind sided by every question. I felt like my program (Themis) did not prepare me at all. I felt like I flubbed every question and my IRACs started to fall apart. I left 20 minutes early (once I've done what I feel I know, I dip, I did this in law school too.) I called everyone and told them I got wrecked.

MBE- A lot more coin flips than I had in practice. I left 20-30 minutes early after each session. I know what I know and move on.- also did this in law school.

I got about 77% done with themis. I skipped all of the outlines and just watched the lectures. I drilled drilled drilled the mbe (2000ish qs) and essays (outlining, almost never writing) My practice essays were scoring 3-5, usually lower. My practice MBEs were 65-78 depending on the session. I studied 200-250 ish hours. I worked part time until July. I pretty much gave up the last week.

I went to a T1 law school and finished in the bottom half/ quarter of my class. 167 LSAT. 3.5 UGPA. 3.0LGPA Forgot my MPRE, but it was a very good score.

I was so confident I failed that I became hyper cheap just to save money for round 2 in February.

Had I failed I would have been immediately discharged from my internship and lost my spot.

I hope this post helps someone who was/is terrified and in a similar position. I had a post the day of the MEE describing my exact mindset if you want to go look for it.

Cheers.
