Screaming Bean
Saturday, January 29, 2005

I had the joy of attending school on a Saturday. This wasn't because of weather, but rather because the school thinks we're all going to fail the Bar Exam. To this end they've joined forces with BarBri and set up BEAT (Bar Exam Accelerated Training Program). Some schools just make the at risk students sit through this, we all have the joy of sitting through it. They're taking attendance...though it supposedly doesn't mean anything. Since when does anything at school that has attendance attached to it not mean anything. You know you'll get nasty letters telling you that you're going to fail if you don't go. So I went. We actually got live people doing lectures. We also got a very strong shill from BarBri. When they rolled out the numbers of passing and failing based on program I knew the numbers weren't telling the whole story. But it was all part of the show. It was strongly implied that if one did not take BarBri but instead took a competing course that you would have a much higher chance of failing. When three times as many students take BarBri as the competitor that's going to affect the percentages. You don't have to be a math genius for that. But then again, we are law students...
