Your own neurosis led you to interpret the original poster’s remarks as an attempt to “stir up anxiety” among other test-takers, but a normal person would obviously realize that he was simply lamenting the possibility that the high pass rate last July would make for a more stringent curve this time around. I suggest that you stop wasting your energy trying to control others and direct it towards a more constructive, realistic goal, such as passing this administration of the bar exam. It appears that you have some deficiencies with respect to reading comprehension, so perhaps you might ask GP for some advice, that is, after GP aces this exam.

This would explain the solid performance of UC Davis on the bar exam, and the scam is nearly foolproof so far!!

What cracks me up is that I saw some of my "friends" who were receiving "special accommodations.<br /><br /> I advise anyone who has not passed and have test anxiety to get tested and let the bar know you want extra time. I know there will be some high and mighty people who will make ill spirited comments. Suffice to say, I had stage four colon and appendix cancer. So I did have a reason.

Hope you leave those fantastic reasoning skills at home while taking the test because here's a prediction== the exam graders probably won't be giving top notch scores for stating the obvious. <br /><br />Good luck to all!!!

That's a big part of why the occasional troll never gets any traction. I'm contemplating turning this thing into a discussion group after I pass the g'damn exam. The exchange of ideas and opinions in the comments has been intelligent and positive. That's something not always found on Bar Prep forums. Not that this is a 'forum', per se. And that's probably the reason the discourse here is (with very few exceptions) so civilized.<br /><br />Thanks, everyone, and good luck this week!The Grand Poobahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07226524231756836464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559983208580788273.post-67207462457664253462009-07-26T00:57:05.820-07:002009-07-26T00:57:05.820-07:00because only a man would brag about it on a passin...because only a man would brag about it on a passing the bar exam blog!<br /><br />:-D<br /><br />Hey, whatever works, dude!krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984620763250118501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559983208580788273.post-60546962678133374692009-07-25T23:00:59.876-07:002009-07-25T23:00:59.876-07:00Kris,

Just because you don't like the message doesn't mean that you have to lash out and attack the messenger. <br /><br />I don't think that the previous poster was trying to stir up any anxiety. In fact, he made a fairly legitimate point, one that I have also heard from some of my law school professors, as well as the instructors at Barbri. Those sources have pointed out that the 61.7% pass rate for the July 2008 exam was significantly higher than in preceding years, so much so that a substantial downward correction is not beyond the realm of possibility. <br /><br />The pass rate for the CA Bar has exceeded 60% for only three administrations of the exam in the past 30 years. The last time it exceeded 60% was in July 1997, with a pass rate of 62.9%. A year later, the pass rate dipped to 52.5% for the July 1998 exam. <br /><br />I have no idea whether the same thing will occur for this administration of the bar exam, though I certainly hope that it doesn't. At any rate, the Anon 6:40 made a valid point and I am rather bemused by your inclination to dismiss him as a troll simply because his comments piqued feelings of fear and frustation on your part.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559983208580788273.post-88001278369003312872009-07-24T23:59:31.857-07:002009-07-24T23:59:31.857-07:00Anon 6:40 you and your pass rate predictions are a...Anon 6:40 you and your pass rate predictions are a kook.
