(This post was inspired by a question from ambimb. When I posted this, the original post and comment went up in smoke. So I found a copy of the post and put it back. It's all about continuity you see...)

Yes indeed the exam begins Tuesday. I have 6 essays on Tuesday plus 50 state multiple choice questions. Wednesday is the MBE day. I just finished reviewing the predictions for the essays, for what they're worth. Unless the committee totally goes off the rails, the essay topics are pretty limited. Still, I worry that I'll be mediocre again. It's a case of not totally getting the gist of how it's supposed to go. This is the same problem I had in law school. Understood the law just fine, but when it came to explaining myself on paper? Conclusatory statements, short- circuited legal thoughts and not enough writing. I only had one instance when I seemed to get the magic formula, and I've spent the last few days reading old questions and model answers to get that feeling back. I think I know more law this time. I have covered all the topics at least twice, if not three times. I've used materials from 3 different review programs. I've done hundreds of questions. Still, it comes down to the niggling feeling in the back of my head that the same thing could happen this time and what then?
