just found out i didn't pass the NY bar

[fryguy]

oh what a crappy day.....

:cry:

[pagerbear]

1. Bummer, Fry guy

:hug:

How soon can you take it again? Do you have to take the whole thing, or can the scores from sections you passed carry forward?

[fryguy]

12. gotta take both days

only part that carries over, as i understand, is the mpre (ethics) score

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Oh my gosh

I am so sorry for you. You will pass it the next time. JFK junior didn't pass it until the third try, but he did pass it. Take comfort knowing that it is the most difficult bar exam to pass. When you do pass, you will be smarter than all the red state lawyers combined!!!

[Lavender Brown]

3. I'm sorry... but chin up, you can try again, right?

:hug:

[eataTREE]

4. Very sorry to hear it.

But you can take it again, right?

[sui generis]

5. sorry to hear that

is this first try out of law school?

[fryguy]

9. yeah

graduated in may and went right into bar/bri....guess i get to do it again

[MrUnderhill]

6. "Didn't pass the bar"...

...this time.

Best of luck with your second attempt!

[Lex]

7. Oh, I'm sorry fryguy.

The NY Bar is a hard one to pass on the first time.

Remember JFK, Jr. didn't pass the first time, but he did on the 2nd try. I know that's not much comfort now.

You probably have to feel bad and then angry and all that before you can think about scheduling the next try.

Peace.

[fryguy]

15. actually it took him three tries....so i'm looking to beat his mark

keeping the ole' chin up

:)

20. Oh cool---see? You are feeling better already.

And like the other poster said, you aren't dead either. So There.

[underpants]

8. Well that sucks

I failed the CPA the first and only time I took it. I only took to get grandfathered so I wouldn't need the equivalent of a master's degree to take it.

Head up! Get it next time.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

10. Aw

:hugs:

[hollywood926]

11. That sucks. But remember....

JFK Jr. took the damn thing several times before passing. You're in good company.

And he's dead, too, so you've got one up on him there.

[HEyHEY]

13. Look at it this way

You'll pass it next time and know it all that much better

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. I'm sorry!

[sweetladybug]

23. I'm sorry but DON'T GIVE UP. Try again, you'll pass it.

[madaboutharry]

16. Do they have a meeting for the people

who didn't pass? I know when my friend failed the bar in NJ they had a meeting where people actually were able to talk to the bar examiners who wrote the questions. If they offer this in NY, it may really help focus you for next time. Just a little unasked for advice. Hang in there.

[fryguy]

17. i don't know

but i'm definitely going to look into that....thanks!

[MissMarple]

18. Group hug!

:grouphug: You'll do better next time.

I understand it's not uncommon. I've also heard that the bar exams may not directly reflect what you learned in law school. There was a guy, I think in Denver, who passed but never went to school. He took a bar exam class.

Go figure.

19. I think NY has a law you get to see the test with the answers....

if you dont pass.


check it out.
